MATCH THREA: " BIRMINGHAM CITY v CARDIFF CITY " MATCH THREAD

Brum 1 nil


GOAL! Birmingham City 1-0 Cardiff City
Deeney slots home after a Cardiff error on the edge of the box.

Ng had to do better there.

Didn't stand up nearly well enough to prevent Deeney, who was left with a simple finish one-on-one.

Good work from Gilesk, who gets a cross away from the left towards Collins.

It bounces off the striker's head and trickles to the keeper.

Ng dinks a cross to the far post from the right.

Wide.

Radcliffe on BBC Wales very impressed with City at the moment.

Don’t seem to be getting much luck do we ?

Pedersen powers over from a corner after breaking free of Flint.

GOAL! Birmingham City 2-0 Cardiff City (Sunjic)

Very poor marking. They've scored their 2 goals far too easy

It's another devastating counter-attack from the hosts.

Deeney sets off McGree, who gets the better of Nelson too easily and slides in a pass for Sunjic.

Pack guilty of letting him get away there and the Blues man slots home.

Ralls fires over as Cardiff look for a response.

Typical of our season so far we can't keep a clean sheet and our forwards would struggle to score in a knocking shop. It's not a good mix.

Very disappointing performance so far. I don't think there's much between them just awful defending again.

Too easy for them to score,come on City turn this around.

Very poor marking. They've scored their 2 goals far too easy

Still stand by the 3/5 at the back doesn't work. Well always look better with an extra man jn midfield and a balanced 4 at the back. The 3 CBs just all get in each others way too often.

Morrison will only be the answer if VT loosens the purse strings in January, same goes for anyone who is in charge.

City last 15mins Hmmmm

Hammer blow just before half time. We didnt deserve that.
I hate to pick on Pack, (honest!!) but watch him tracking back one second 2 yards in front of the scorer, next a yard behind and the 2-0. Incredible how we pick him week in week out please can we try a midfield without him

He’s been awful mate.
I’d Chuck Bacuna in his position instead of him and go to back 4 with NG making way for Isaac Davies.

Let's face it our 3 centre backs (with the exception of McGuiness) would not get into many sides in Div 1 let alone the Championship. Morrison at his best is what we need. But I agree 3 is one too many & we need the extra in midfield. I would have Pack & Morrison or McGuiness & Morrison. Flint & Nelson can do one.

Come on city, we can get back into this IF we score the next one. But with such sh#t defending my hopes are not v high.

Yet again we do not have the players to play this formation...play 4 at back ffs

Perhaps legge, Blake and Gabbs were right. We should have gone for an experienced manager.

McGuinnes with a superb block to deny McGree on the edge of the area.

Corner causes a bit of panic, but flint hoofs clear.

Better from Cardiff as Giles bursts down the left and wins a corner after his effort is turned round the post.

Flint then heads well wide a few moments later.

Marlon Pack, what an awful performance

Deeney glances a free header wide. McGuinness caught ball watching as Graham's cross comes in.

Sanderson as a defender is iffy and can make mistakes . Moore and Collins should take him on …….. but we need the f*cking crosses and as is we have no width.

Double change as Collins and Nelson make way for Harris and Davies.

Davies is looking lively. He's brought down by Sunjic.

Booking.

Another Cardiff sub as Vaulks comes on for Pack.

Very nearly an instant impact from Vaulks. Drills a low freekick straight at the keeper.
