Probably online later but ... some notes ... talking to Wilford
1st half we threatened and could have come in 2 up
Bacuna mad as a hatter but we see him do that "sort of thing" every day in training
Some heroics from various players putting bodies on line
Pleased for fans who were magnificent
We need to be better with the ball - thinks it's been bred into them to drop deep when they have something to defend
First time he saw Bielik it was at CH for Arsenal and thinks he gives us better control at the back and can play the ball into midfield better
We looked a threat often with our creative players
Pleased for everyone, especially fans who travelled in such large number
Delighted for players - they are really "up for it"
Not enough attacking thrust second half .... need to keep the ball better ... that will come - we'll work at it in training
Doesn't like us sitting deep
<< PS .. thanks to Mrs Mahone for teaching me to touch type at an early age >>
Literally hang on his every word ๐
Not felt like this about a manager in a long long time!
Up the Mowbray the future is so bright now ๐
Great to hear that he doesnโt want us to sit back. Will take a while for that to be knocked out of them but encouraging to hear.
Oh Uncle Tony, it's like you're whispering sweet nothings in my ear.

So strange looking forward to hearing a managers comments. Not sure I even listened to more than one of JEโs post match interviews.
Tony actually has some substance to his comments, heโs really switched on.

We,as fans, often say about managers "he gets us"
I think, with Mowbray ... Blues fans "get him"

He comes across as intelligent and a real gentleman.
We finally have someone with some pedigree at this level. Very exciting times.

Couldnโt have worded it better Rags!
Hand in hand, Blues & Mowbray this fit just feels right ๐
Bielik ...
Tough team, tough game, they have not lost for 7 games.
We dropped too deep and it became a problem
Gaffer put on another centre back to make sure we got three points and it worked
Tough game though.
Getting first contact on the ball at crosses was important .... they had some chances ... i worked very hard to play better - plying back at centre-half and did my best for the team
We practiced defending box in training and worked well
It's good being back at CH - completely different from CM - have to be focused, concentrate, keep line .. more minutes i play there the more the "centre back things" will some back to me
If that's my new position i will do my best
Had chat with manager who sees me as CB - TM and Mark Venud saw him at Arsenal in U21s (? i think he said) and liked him at CH
Boss thinks he can bring control but he knows he has to work again on making first contact
Good things coming and looking forward to them
Think Mowbrays also a good psychologist, like all the top managers.
Got ourselves a very good manager. Feels good to have a safe pair of hands who seeโs our strengths & weaknesses and exactly what needs improving. Enjoy his interviews they are honest and you can tell he is on the ball. Really glad to have him here

Thanks Rags. Living in Bournemouth I don't get to her radio WM
Good connection with the fans already ๐
He came across excellently on Radio 5 live with Pat Murphy.
