Felix1875Lots of positives...
We've confirmed that Burke can't play upfront (after previously confirming that he can't play wide), so barring a lot of injuries, he shouldn't start again.
We've learned that James is our best central midfielder and should start every game, if that means resting him in training then do that - he needs to start.
We've learned Bielik can't pass forward and is too slow to be useful in any transition, in fact he often stops transitions when he refuses forward passes and plays it backwards. He needs swapping for Sunjic.
We've learned that if we do actually play the ball to Miyoshi and Dembele's feet then they often do something good - so lets do that more.
We've continued seeing that Aiwu isn't the player to partner Sanderson for the rest of the season. So we need a CB on 1st Jan.
We've also learned that the previous 'boring' predictions of finishing this season mid-table, before having a go for the playoffs next year, we're very wrong.... we are in for a 'super-exciting' relegation battle. Maybe it'll go down to the last day again - what fun!
Good summary.
If he picks Burke again I'm not going to be happy. He's had enough chances now. Ditto Aiwu. get Long back in the team now!
I thought Rooney was going to come in & make the strikers better.
That really hasn't happened.
What's happened to Stansfield?
He looked ace six weeks ago.
Positive, heās averaging 0.62 ppg whereas zola only averaged 0.57ā¦
The owners have a perfect opportunity to grill our useless CEO on his decision to give his mate the managers job.
Birmingham City " on the rise again" !
My arse.
Donāt think anyone played badly. I think we played better than against the Albion. It will come
Mr Miyagi and the X-Men...we've actually gone up a place š¤
Jordan James
Thatās it

Stansfield with Miyoshi behind him worked like a dream. Stansfield out wide and in the 10 role under Eustace didnāt work, and he looks the shadow of the player he was now under Rooney

You didn't think Burke played badly? Ditto Aiwu?

WOW
Another positive is that , by now , the realisation of the fact that this is going to be a relegation battle might finally be sinking in ?
And?
Maybe some people are just better at managing their expectations?

Tbf Standfield scores a few goals In that 10 role. Itās not position, he just looks crap now regardless of where he plays.
A clean sheet
1 more point towards the total in what will IMHO be another relegation battle
So another player that has regressed under Rooney. Add him to the list that includes Ruddy, Sanderson, Bielik,Longelo, Sunjic and Myoshi

Cāmon mate, Longelo and Sunjic were shite well before Rooney got here. Sanderson has always been overrated and Iām not sure Rooney can be blamed for Ruddy not being able to hold the ball.
