MATCHWATCH : Birmingham City (h)

[CountryRoyal]

Quite looking forward to tonight which I know is probably a bad idea. Also last home game of the season for me so can’t wait for a standard crap mid-week Brum game.

Last home game of the season? What’s going on CR?

Prison?

Rahman out so McIntyre in, only 6 subs.

Tim presuming it’s Tom not Paul in the team

[windermereROYAL]

So Ejaria really is injured.

[Snowflake Royal]

Blimey, no seventh player on the bench - not great for Clarke

[Sutekh]

Presumably injured then.

[Brogue]

Tim and ady both said they were randomly followed by sol Campbell in the week on Twitter . Interesting

Weird re Clarke. He scored a couple and has barely been seen since. Was on the bench for U23s last night so not injured. I thought he was looking very promising before he got dropped.

And as for Ejaria either he is injured or else he has done something awful. Who knows.

I can only suspect Long Covid for Ejaria - unless the owners have frozen him out a la Moore?

[Snowflake Royal]

Tim and Ady randomly having a go at Ince for being a big name getting the gig and not a lower profile manager who has done their time in the lower leagues...

Er... the examples you've given are all employed and Ince has done his time in the lower leagues.

[Sutekh]

Anyone got a clue just how you watch Red button games on the sky sports app?

[Snowflake Royal]

Oooo that was amazing from Joao, so close to perfection... just not quite in reach of Ince. Everyone expected him to shoot.

[Snowflake Royal]

Hernandez looks a worry.

[Snowflake Royal]

This is pretty good. Think we're dominating and close to a clear chance a couple of times.

We'll probably concede now with a daft mistake.

[Snowflake Royal]

Pretty sure we've left at least TInce up at corner... not sure if anyone else.

PInce can't have changed much at all, about the only thing can be number back at corners, but we look much more assured and are making better decisions.

[Sutekh]

This developing into Reading getting the ball, giving it away then Brum get a shot which is gathered by Reading who then give the ball away again and so on.

[Gunny Fishcake]

Waiting for the new manager rocket to take off , same old so far

[Snowflake Royal]

Couple of moments there where the defensive positioning is off... Morro getting sucked way up field covering Yiadom I think and leaving Holmes isolated as one example.

Holmes getting isolated and taken out the game by a ball over the top to Taylor.

Holmes just gets caught napping on a ball in behind him.

We survive all of them. Really faded out of it since minute 25 / 30.

TInce seemed to be trying all the right things but getting all the final balls wrong.

Blimey we're really hanging on by our finger nails. Fitness and concentration unsurprisingly still an issue.

TInce must do better there.
