MATCH THREAD;" BIRMINGHAM CITY v CARDIFF CITY " MATCH THREAD

Shocking 35 minutes so far , we look like 11 strangers who have just turned up.

Anyone else getting a tad confused occasionally with Brum playing in a very Cardiff-esque kit?

Annis Millwall fans must be laughing them now becoming a good side under Rowett and us lumped with Harris?

I know many Millwall fans and they all cant believe we made him our manager, they say he is a League one manager.

This is complete and utter shit. No tactics or pride in our shirt. Think I’m going to leave at half time.

Pitch is crap like the 70s

This is absolute crap

Cardiff subs: Paterson on, Ward off.

Oops according to some Paterson not a first team player

Well 40mins gone and Cardiff attack

A goalmouth scramble in the box results in Sean Morrison going down clutching his face. Unclear exactly what happened there.

There's certainly no apparent cohesion at the moment but I'm sure they'll have it explained to them at half-time and hopefully we'll see a repeat of the improved second half performances akin to the Harris reign to date

No excuse fir Cardiff going forward; Brum have Lee Camp in goal, for Pete sake!

4 minutes!! Harris you uninspiring, backwards fraud get back on the dole queue and let someone else have a go.

Fraud?

At last something you have in common with Neil Harris!

Having said that, it has been a poor start by a bereft of ideas Bluebirds and some pretty sloppy defending by the whole group

Sven you thought by now we would be in the playoff positions as everything would be okay in the end. Please admit your positivity has been misplaced and I was right I.e we are a distinctly average to lower championship team

No, fella. On a serious note, I will always get behind the team on the pitch and for the whole 90 minutes; that's what being a supporter (rather than a mere fan) means

That you are occasionally correct in your negative assertions, giving up on the team after 5 whole minutes is pretty crass and not conducive with the purpose of being s 'supporter'

We're 1-0 down with lots of time to go , I won't be giving up on this Cardiff team

You bang on now. I'm going to concentrate on the game

Great save from Smithies there!

Sven that’s where you’re wrong. Without fans like me who challenge and criticise when criticism is needed... we would no doubt still be playing in red. If every fan just went about thinking everything was rosey we would be taken mugs. Look beyond the spin... the club lied to us about their intentions with a new manager and now we are stuck with the worst manager for years

Morrison back to his feet and back on the pitch.

I will sum up the first-half CLUELESS

We actually had a corner after 37mins.

NO SHOTS

The regression under a Harris continues... we now create less chances than ever we did under Warnock... we really are going backwards

Stop saying Harris, you mean Slade

Isn't Harris supposed to be a younger forward thinking Manager with new ideas?

I was happy to give him a chance and wait till like end of Feb, but its clearly something wrong. Something really basic

Apparently brought to get us having 35 shots a game. Anyone totalled up how many shots we’ve even had since he’s been here?

Its just like watching russel slade, out of his depth, players not playing for him.
Please please get an experienced manager in.
11 shots from Birmingham 1 from us, its ok we have greater possesion though 53%

NEIL HARRIS HAS NOW BEEN IN CHARGE FOR 14 FIRST TEAM GAMES / SO YES WE CAN ALL SAY OUR FULL OPINIONS

He speaks in cliches. More than the usual nonsense. Whoever appointed this clown needs to go too.

53% possession and yet 11 to 1 shots. It's like City at home

Totally agree

No, fella. I'm not wrong. All that stuff you mention is not for game time

I'm not a Neil Harris fan and I wanted a manager who could convince the supporters that the club are ambitious for the remainder of this season and beyond. It saddens me that we didn't get that. We got another 'yes man' prepared to work on a shoe string

But away from that, this is the match day thread and we should be getting behind the team as much as we can rather than perpetually looking to criticise and writing the team off after 5 bloody minutes!

Today is the first time I’ve really questioned Harris management. First of he starts Ward who is so ineffective when he starts, and to top it off when he’s injured he brings on Paterson instead. I’m sorry but to have Tomlin playing at 10 with Paterson upfront is never going to work. Plus Paterson’s one touch play is not good enough to be playing it on the floor.
That being said with the performance of our wingers we are never going to benefit from any striker playing, they are completely non existent in ab attacking sense. Today must surely be the worst performance Hoilett has ever put in, in a city shirt. It would be nice to play wingers that’s main instruction is an attacking one not to help out the defence.

Half-time whistle went and it’s a third chorus of “Harris, sort it out” from the Cardiff fans and its getting louder

Where have I snagged off the team I’ve focussed clearly on the manager. It’s a match day thread and another match which shows he is out of his depth and we are getting worse on the field

If the club wanted a progressive manager to play football then they should have broke the bank for Eddie Howe

People might say he wouldn’t move but he won’t be long about at Bournemouth taken them as far as he can

only positive so to speak is that he gets a reaction most of the time after a poor first half. We will soon see

But it's not been 5 minutes has it, it's been a full half of absoultely dire football, which has been served up to us over and over again. People have a goddamn right to voice their displeasure, this isn't the middle ages and we aren't subservient peasants who are expected to shut up and smile (and pay for tickets/merch) no matter how much shit gets shoved into our faces. The board need to sort this mess out ASAP.
