- Alex Dicken and Brian Dick help each other through Blues’ New York Stadium disappointment and look at what’s next in the Championship relegation battle
Bielik should be made captain and build the team around him we have to what a player. Kro
He'd be my pick too.
We have to beat Huddersfield the team have ro fo out there and fight like they have not sone this aeason ans get us over the line anything else is not good enough come on players fight 100% effort kro
Positives:
After Cardiff game most would agree to take 4 points from next two games which we did only the blues way, 3 off Cov and draw to Roth. I still can see us staying up with another 4 points, draw to Hudds, beat Norwich infront of full house! Currently two clean sheets another positive! KRO
League One is a graveyard of former top-tier teams although you'd hope we'd be in a better financial position to fight out. It would hit broadcasting revenue substantially and maybe match day receipts. Plus as we've said I think we could lose or have to loan away a bunch of our best players. It clearly would hurt and it would mean spending the summer building a championship-pushing team, not a Premier League pushing side which would mean we'd end up re-building all over again once back up.
Agree with that, but (apart from a few), I’ll be glad to see these players never wear a Blues shirt again.
@@stephen3511 Sadly I think it's the ones we'd like to keep will be the ones who end up leaving. Well IF it happens and we are not quite sunk yet then hopefully with the players we have decent contracts with we can perhaps loan them out for a season and get them back the next assuming we can bounce back in one attempt.
Numerous reasons why we’re in the bottom three: Multiple managerial changes, several players out of contract who know they’re not here next year, poor recruitment and loans (Sanderson. Laird, Prichard, Roberts, Burke, etc).
Only Stansfield, Bielik and Miyoshi can come out of this season with any credit.
Krystian Bielik said we've got to have the "right mood" and winning "mind" at Huddersfield as we had against Coventry!👀. Suggesting they hadn't that at Rotherham!😮
Bielik, late as a Brummie bus....hobby collecting yellow cards, slow.....good at the 'Hacker'......apologies to our NZ cousins.....
To pin point the biggest reason we’re done for (because we are) was the terminal decision to sack Eustace for what was a purely commercial reason. The playing side of things should never be conflated with the commercial side. Huge, huge error of judgment and still baffling to me!
Spot on! I'm pretty sure that our new owners thought that John Eustace wasn't a well known name, particularly in the USA. So why not get him out to the USA to raise his profile at every available opportunity and get someone in like Rooney with a fancy job title to do nothing other than to be associated with BCFC?
@@2002ChrisK Mowbray won't be known in USA too. It smells more like a falling out of approach when the new owners came in between them and Eustace. We will never know for sure.
I can't agree. The very best reason to make the change was commercial. The game has always been about money and the stats show that the teams that win promotion have a four times greater chance of doing so with the highest income. More money means better players which equals better chances of success. The board was absolutely right in our position to try and improve income as they did. That it did come off is another thing. The decision to try and completely change the style of play was the problem and the lessons of Zola had been forgotten. We paid the price and might yet lose our Championship status as a result. Rooney had done a solid job at Derby in difficult circumstances and I don't think anyone could have predicted how wrong it would go and so quickly. Our position in the table at the time of Eustace's sacking was false in my opinion but it is a convenient stick to use to make a point.
@@royalblue5758 Not convinced. Did Derby's income fly when Rooney was appointed? I'm not sure where the correlation is with specific revenue growth. The words Cook used at the time said it all that the clubs and Eustaces vision were not aligned.
@@philspilsbury66 No it did not but the two situations are not the same. In three months there was no specific correlation in specific revenue growth because there was not the time to achieve that. But the potential was there. You only have to look at the media attention Rooney's appointment and even more so, his sacking attracted. Sadly most of that was negative because he did not deliver on the pitch. The higher profile of the club, had it been positive, would have meant selling advertising, sponsorship and corporate packages much more profitable for the club. We have to generate the funds to spend on players. The owners cannot put money directly in the club ( which does not apply in League One ). I get entirely what they were trying to do, but of course as we know it all blew up in our faces because of the results on the pitch. The football was not great under Eustace and you only have to look at that long poor run we had last season to see that. Both Plymouth and WBA were far better than us at St A's but we managed the luck to win. We took only 2 points from 15 in September until the poor Huddersfield showed up and we mugged Albion.
The evidence is that teams who play more possession based football do consistently better on average than those that do not. Trying to improve us on the pitch and increase our profile were absolutely the right things to try and do. It did not work out but that happens sometimes. The new owners have not come here to keep us doing what we have been doing for the last ten years but to try and improve things. That involves taking risks which sometimes don't work out as planned.
Let's say Burke won every ball , his passing ability and shooting ability is substandard at best.If ever there was ever a chance to stay up this was the game. Always next game is a must win , well Huddersfield is absolutely that game ,do or die.
What's disappointing is we can win, doesn't mean Sheff Wed won't do their job. Out of our hands again, a real let down this performance/result against Rotherham.
If we go into league one I have every confidence that our owners will ensure we have a squad capable of getting us out in short order. It won't be the end of the world, it will just feel like it. We can't have any complaints if the worst happens and we are relegated. We have been consistently poor and the league tablet does not lie. We are not down yet and there is still hope. KRO.
I think that in his own mind Jordan James has already moved on
If a club offer £5m for him, we should bite their hand off. Think he’s overrated.
He’s definitely checked out … hence he’s not been starting
@@stephen3511worth a lot more than that
He's got promise because of his age, he had a purple patch at the right time and lost his head, now he owes us big time to prove his price tag
Huddersfield have to win, so there could be space for our more creative player to work. Rotherham just set up to be compact and not win to frustrate which didn't allow blues to open them up. Yes we should be beating Rotherham but I think the game against Huddersfield might just work in our favour.
Two Berks were involved in our defeat at Rotherham - the player Burke , and the person who included him in the starting lineup
we had it in our own hands thanks to the Coventry game. We have wasted another big chance, quite frankly whatever happens from now, if we can't beat Rotherham, we deserve relegation. Hoping for a miracle all the same.
Cup final on Saturday can we win,yes,will we win don’t know. If we do then let’s hope Norwich are already in the playoffs and play a reserve /weakened team.for the last game
Stansfield will be player of the season no probs.
I think with the better players if we go down, could we loan them out for a season in hope we do go straight back up
We were pathetic utter garbage and we have to hope that our manager saves us when he picks Burke. Rowett you pleb.
Welcome to Wrexham the Hollywood side show , so annoyed the delay did us a favour the Huddersfield result must of made it on to the pitch, they knew the job required and the players have ler the fans down badly kro
Bielik should of been club captain from the start of the season,i think JE gave it to sanderson to keep him off the partying and didnt work,the rooney thing was a massive miss judgement, combined with the contract overhauling and the JJ move ,have all culminated too a lack luster mind frame, im very disappointed with the whole debacle,they needed 6 psychologists not 6 managers input😢 and sanderson your a tnuc, i hope his wages are cut untill next year.
Uray emery seen in munich😂😂😂
Well he wouldn't be seen in Boardsley Green, that's for sure!
Sorry Mr Rowett but you had a winning team and winning performance against Coventry, so why change everything? If you can thrash Coventry, you can beat the worst team in the division, but no, football managers always have to do things to pretend they are some sort of genius. Stupid decision to play Burke, and that's not hindsight, that is called common sense. If we go down, you can look in the mirror and say, I helped that to happen.
GR....thats for sacking me....cheers easies.......
How have we not even tried junior Dixon given we have struggled for goals and he is confident and banging them in.? Your saying 6 managers this season who are more qualified than us have decided not to yet they have all failed in their jobs so maybe not putting Dixon in was the mistake. Using the analogy Dixon isn't ready means that scott hogan, ollie Burke Tyler Roberts are more than qualified yet they arnt scoring and therefore failing in their job. You don't know until you try and now it's too late. Remember AJ if your good enough your old enough. Rowett is to negative and even if we miraculously stay up, which we won't now roweet needs to go and we need a enthusiastic forward thinking manager who plays attacking football
We are basically a very poor side, we blow hot and cold , lots of mistakes throughout this awful season.. six managers we are very unlucky with Mowbray unfortunately been ill , shouldn’t have sacked eustace … the third division coming up financially we will take a hit.. league 1 very poor in my opinion.
For me, Rowett has lost all his credibility by playing Burke (his old mate). I think 4 points will be enough, although I'm not sure we're going to get them. Huddersfield must be feeling rock bottom; they'll be nervy, so hopefully we can rattle them down to league 1.😮
Spineless bunch of "So Called Professional Footballers " Before the Game I felt if We got an Early Goal We would Settle ... BUT If We don't break a team down Early Doors We panic and go within Ourselves ... For Me the Better team were Rotherham ... The Burke Decision as a Starter or Even Being Close to the Squad was Laughable .. Forget the Burke Decision being about Physical in the middle of the pitch .. Burke Could not trap a bag of Sand or Pass Water .. If You want energy Physical Presence why not Gardner > > > > ? Absolute Joke Decision Mr Rowett ... We are Going Down Beacuse Huddersfield will take the game to Us on Saturday and as Usual this Spineless group of Players will Buckle as Usual .. I really Hope We don't go Down BUT We are Doomed .. Also RE: Burke nearest I wanna See Him near the Birmingham Name is the Airport .. BTW Birmingham Live is a Joke tbh Absolute waist of Bandwith and Paper ( If the So called Journalists still goto Print ) Click bait City
We're down chap's!...sick of these players.carnt wait until this season is over.so much dead wood at this club.thank god we're going down with good owners.
These good owners sacked Eustace. They might be good but that doesn't mean they are sensible.
Anyone who thinks we will just bounce back Is delusional
Just goes to show the lack of quality available if Burke gets a game . Totally incapable of decent back to back performances. We are down , one point at best with last 2 games
What makes Alex think we can beat Huddersfield after the Rotherham garbage performance, why don't he admit we are down.
Alex makes to many excuses for what is garbage and his player ratings are a joke.
Absolutely heading out of the championship. Hopefully the football league, as well! Get down in the ground, where the deadmen go. The yanks will walk away after they have built a super mall, and trousered a good few million quid! Birmingham will be, and always has been owned by the mighty ASTON VILLA. Always remember...."There Can Be Only One"
The mighty Aston Villa won nothing for years blues last won a major trophy
