There was one moment last night when BRUM thought...........

......we can get something here.

Bellamy went off and Cowie came on (I think I'm right) and we went 4-5-1. It was just the lift they needed and for 10 minutes we were chasing shadows.

I'd have strung MM up[ by his balls if they'd scored and taken him to Doc Grahams to have 4-4-2 tattooed on his forehead, knob and arse! :old:

Taking off our fast forwards (Bellamy and Noone) did seem to invite them on to us as we had no get out ball. Brum did not have to worry about the pace of those 2 catching them out on the break, so could push up . Also without Bellamy closing them down at the back the defenders could look up and pick a pass.

Redman looked a threat mind, and Cowie seemed to wipe that out when he came on as he doubled up with Mac Naughton.

Bellamy could barely move. Hudson had a word with him at a corner. He then looked over to the bench. Next time ball went out his number was up.

I think Hudson has benefitted from Bellamy being around, and seems more assertive himself. If what you say happened is the case ( I dont doubt you) then he is a very good captain.

When king came on we struggled a bit,surprised Brum didnt have him on from the start
apart from that,we were much the better side,
great to see cardiff with that cutting edge back

Thought Bellamy for Cowie was an excellect sub, nullified threat of Redmond. Bellamy looked knackered, hope it wasn't an injury. I'm glad they didn't bring on King and keep Lita on pitch that would have gave as problems I thought.

I saw Velijonka against Newcastle, did more than enough for me to shove him on instead of Bellamy or Helguson and keep to the winning formation :roll:

Hope het gets on soon, will have forgotten how to score and is wearing down the grass in front of block 103 :lol:

No, we went back to 4-4-2, you saw MM change it, he was bawling at Hudson and Whittingham to get it right - so job done!

we started 442 with bells and Heguson up top. Cowie came on for bells and Mason went up top.

Yeah, I wasn't surprised when we went 4-5-1. I would have probably brought on Kimbo for Mason on 70 minutes to provide more energy on the right and a bit more defensive protection. In fact, I'd start Kimbo on the right in our next game because Mason just isn't a wide player.
