Ouch. First Shrewsbury goal was well taken! Other 2 shouldn't have happened... The possession is great.....as long as we score first and draw the opposition out. CD definitely needs a plan B. I think it's accepted that a lot of our players are above League 1 standard, got to make it count though.
The first goal was awful defending. Laird lost his man who was left all alone to head the ball back and the player that scored was not marked and he did what he should do in that situation and score. All 3 goals were as a result of our inability to be able to defend set pieces or against pace. We got caught out and found out again. There's no defending that defending!! KRO 💙
We need a proper leader on the pitch. Bielik isn't a captain. He's not even one of my first choice centre backs. His lack of pace and slow style of play was something i highlighted way before this performance. We needed to sign a real leader of men in the summer and it's showing out there on the pitch. KRO 💙
Need to start Alfie at No9, Thor at 10, and Jay on the other side. Also need TGH in the starting lineup. Just knew the Shrews new manager bounce would kick us in the teeth. Trouble is our play is so predictable now and other teams know what to do to undo us. We need to mix things up.
Tough result to accept.... Two of their goals were very poor defending and not to our standard at all. Lets get back to winning ways.... we are all behind CD and the team!!!
Manager needs to learn quickly how to play in this league. Terrible performance. They widened the pitch and played us on the break and our two centre half’s were done for pace. Marquis is slow but looked like Hussein Bolt against our two. The right and left backs were nowhere to be seen. Really poor performance all round
Just watched the Highlights-Well done to Shrewsbury on a fantastic win for them. Have to say the second and third goals we conceeded were suicidal defending. Really wish Beilk hadn’t said what he said 5/6 weeks re We are too good for this league well KB 7 points dropped from the last 3 League games prove once again that Statements like that always come back to haunt you. Chris Davies must play Alfie May up front on the number 9 position and Jay on the right side. Still confident we will prevail over the season but we’ve got to more incisive and utilise the players we have as We Should be good enough to take care of most teams. What CD has to say is to ram home to the team is we’ve got to roll up our sleeves and battle as League One is a battle. Come on you Blue Boys.
I cant critice our defending for the goals, as we didnt appear to do any 😂 Finger hovering over the panic button, but lets see the response on Tuesday first. There needs to be one.
Classic Blues, something needs to change, teams have us sussed out and we're sinking fast after our record breaking start. I pray we can find our form and soon. KRO!
Said this at least 6/7 games ago, but CD needs to stop with the square pegs in round hole, also tactics need to change, passing for passing sake is why there very very few chances created.
Where was laird first goal loses his marker 2nd his on the half way line 3rd no where to be seen basically no right back same against Northampton I prefer stamsted but that's my own opinion
I think there is a question mark against Laird but Birmingham Live reported that CD had told him to play higher and central when we are in possession and I think that skewed things badly. I think Laird is the type of player who always needs to be conscious of his primary role and his forward play should be a bonus. Also our centre halves, who I really like, are too slow to provide cover. KRO
80% possession, 5 shots on target. Shrewsbury 20%possession 4 on target. It's so obvious that CDs style is awful. Too many red flags from the season's start. Goalkeepers costing goals. Now massive possession, but with no end product. Lots of very tight results. All red flags.Laird has little positional sense. Beilik is NOT a cetre half. Leonard should start every game, whoever he replaces. Only certainty is City won't be relegated.
The blueprint is there for all to see as to how you set up and play against Blues. We're in League One and we need to find the answers to the problems that we're continuing to come up against. No team is going to roll out the red carpet and let us play so we need to come up with plan B and C as plan A isn't working. There's no space to play into and we're far too slow and pedestrian in our build-up play. There are too many backwards and sideways passes, and we're just not breaking the lines, and that's down to how teams set up and how we're playing. Teams are showing us a lot of respect, and we need to show the opposition more by changing how we play to overcome the challenge that we're comig up against. We need to put round pegs in round holes. We need to see some players be rested or dropped whichever way you want to look at it depending on who it is. I'm a big Buchanan fan, so i'm looking forward to his return. I hope we can stay fit. I would play him at centre half when he's not playing left back to give Cochrane a rest. I think Buchanan is our best defender in the squad. He will do what defenders should do and that's defend!! Body on line. Well timed tackles, hard but fair and just deal with what needs to be dealt with. I want to see a number of changes for Tuesday. I'm looking forward to the return of Scott Wright too as i really like the pace and directness he brings as well as having end product. KRO 💙
Agreed. Be cruel, need to think of the team first and foremost, drop players if need be. Every game my arsehole pulsates and its going at an alarming rate now teams can smell blood. Soft soft goals majority of the time are becoming very irritating cmon blues KRO.
Oh well Villa have Juventus in the week, and we just lost to Shrewsbury town, we should forget that rivalry because let’s face it, we are a good 20 years or more behind them, new stadium won’t be full, pathetic possession football, creating next to nothing and getting caught on the break, it’s bad for us small Heath fans atm
Worst performance of the season. Just didn’t look bothered. I fear we have developed a team of individuals with quality but no spirit. Shrewsbury oozed spirit and effort, we were the opposite. I live by Shrewsbury and know how bad they’ve been. To lose this was a massive embarrassment to our club. The players should be ashamed if they think that’s good enough. I worry Chris Davies is being found out and hasn’t got the capabilities to push through. We shall see. Tuesday is a must win. Simple.
He did well at the start You don't become a bad manager overnight Blues fans expectations were over the top and the pressure shows now The players need to step up
People overreacting massively. We’ve lost 2 games all season so far! Games in hand on other teams. Best football we’ve played in over a decade. We are not a self entitled fan base, stop acting like it
I think fans are entitled to their opinion if it's well informed and articulated. Yes, the football at times looks nice and pretty but there's not enough end product and possession doesn't win you games, it's what you do with it when you have it and how well you defend when you don't. Blues aren't doing enough well enough and we can all see it. Yes we have 30 points and yes we have games in hand over some teams but the picture doesn't look as good as it should and those games in hand are only of any use if we win them!! On the evidence of the last few league games we don't look like winning. The long and short of it, is the expectation is high given the money that has been spent and the players brought in in addition to those that we kept. The point that most fans are making is that we're in League One. We need to find a way of over coming the challenges we're coming up against. We need plan B and C. With the performances and results of late, that's not good enough. End of. We have to give League One the respect it deserves as Blues are being given massive respect by how teams set up and play against us. Fans will praise and give plaudits when things are going well, but equally we're entitled to and are allowed to voice our opinions when honest and fair criticism is called for. KRO 💙
Need to bounce back against Exeter Tuesday... That first half defending was just embarrassing
After 3 top goalscoring seasons only blues could knock the confidence out of Alfie may kro
Ouch. First Shrewsbury goal was well taken! Other 2 shouldn't have happened...

I prefer Gardner hickman and feel sorry for him as he has easily been our best right back this season.
@dazo69 me too thing is he is a weak link laird is goes forward and then out of position
@@dazo69 ref Gardner Hickman - have to agree. Definitely more productive.

Absolutely embarrassing
Shrewsbury town 3 v small heath 2
The last three games have been unacceptable. CD needs to change his approach and thinking, quickly, I'm not seeing any learning

Tuesday is a must win. Simple.
Think we should’ve got rid of every player who was at the club last season who all played their part in relegation
He did well at the start
You don't become a bad manager overnight
Blues fans expectations were over the top and the pressure shows now
The players need to step up
Bielik is awful, Harris is nowhere near Willumson's level but takes his place, Yokoyama gets a minute?
Bottling the league already brum? 😂 Shrewsbury tho
People overreacting massively. We’ve lost 2 games all season so far! Games in hand on other teams. Best football we’ve played in over a decade. We are not a self entitled fan base, stop acting like it
It's called having an opinion, not overreacting, we're not living in North Korea..
It's the usual bedwetters, I just ignore them.
I think fans are entitled to their opinion if it's well informed and articulated.
