Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. Yes, excellent! Allsop has been fantastic for us and I always feel like we are more solid with him in goal! KRO!
Thank you very much for your comment Tony which is greatly appreciated. I certainly hope it does not come to goal difference, but even if it does we will be ok I think. KRO!
We currently have the second best goal difference. I'm not sure what all the panic is about (not saying your comment is a panic one btw 😁). You're right, goal difference is like an extra point. However, I think we will achieve more than enough points regardless of goal difference to get promoted at worst as runners up, but I fully expect us to win the league. KRO 💙
Glad you mentioned the ball being carried forward, Matt, because I noticed it on the highlights. Was very pleased to see it, and although he lost the ball a couple of times Anderson was running at the defenders too. I don't know why this hasn't been done before, since we are playing a superb high press, if we lose the ball there's a chance we get it back anyway. Obviously it is less of an option if there is no one behind you covering where it is a greater risk, but I love to see players running at the defence. Also, think you mentioned it in the Exeter game, but I was impressed by Allsops long balls. Two things, one it mixes things up and makes us less predictable, and secondly, he has a fantastic hard low dropkick which is accurate and caused Bristol problems. Great stuff as always, guys, KRO Forever True!
Thank you very much for your comment Pauli which is greatly appreciated. I think we are still developing as a team and we are not at full throttle yet, but it is good to see us improving going forward. KRO!
Great podcast again guys,agree with all your points. There's been a noticeable change in mentality since the Shrewsbury game IMO. We look solid and more aggressive in our defensive play. On Willumson ,I love watching him play, he's such a classy footballer. His touch, movement and vision is fantastic. Looking good! KRO
Great podcast Gary and Matt, I don't mind 2.0 or 3.1 as long as we have a 2 goal advantage and points in the bag, Blues fans should understand where we were last season and previous seasons, goals will come and we are building for the future. We have had years of struggle in the Championship and yes we were relegated and probably for the best, as i say we are building for the future, so enjoy the ride. To Tom Wagner and all the rest at blues, Thank you.KRO
It's like the Rovers fans were singing songs like "We had a shot, we had a shot" and "We have the ball, we have the ball" I remember singing this at Leeds away on new years day earlier this year so fortunes in football can change very quickly. We know exactly how that feels and seeing your team lose most weeks is the worst feeling ever. The feeling around blues this season is amazing and if we win 1-0 or 10-0 it's 3 points and we move onto the next game. I would love to see us scoring more goals and I think this will come in the second half of the season. Thanks again, KRO! :)
Great analysis as ever lads. Totally agree with you about the new(est) shape, the core 5 players there are really clicking. We will probably do the treble now!!!😮 KRO
We definitely decided to conserve energy and players in the second half, aint got a problem with that we have loads of games in quick succession coming up, great podcast lads.
Your right as long as we win winning is the name of the game it would be great to win every 5-0 but that's not going to happen, thank you both again for the post KRO from Thailand
Re the offside in our own half. The reasoning was that the player started in the Rovers half and was coming back to our goal. He was therefore offside in their half but the referee placed the ball for the free kick where he had received it which was in our half. 50 years of watching football, I've never seen that before...
Love the fact that Chris Davis now seems to favour two up-top, though this requires crosses in from wing-play, which would produce more chances on goal! 🏴KRO!
Always take the points, that's what gets you promoted at the end of the season, also this weekend has seen a few managers sacked and others hanging on by the finger nails, keep it up guys great show as always. KRO
Thanks Steven. I'm sure one of these clubs will soon snap up Mowbray as well as I read over the weekend he is looking to get back into full time management. Thanks again, KRO! :)
Hi both great pod cast as usual,thought Klarer and Davies were awesome could be the next Scott Dann and Roger Johnson.I would have like to see Yokuma come on for the last 15 minutes,but overall a great performance KRO and a happy Christmas to you both.
Thank you very much for your comment Terry which is greatly appreciated. Klarer and Davies are awesome and very solid. The team looks much better at the back with Davies alongside Klarer. Happy Christmas to you too. KRO!
I predicted 4 - 0 before the game and had we gone for it in the second half we could've achieved that. That being said I'm more than happy with a 2 - 0 win. Another cleansheet which is always pleasing to see and another 3 points which is the most important thing. Our goal difference is more than healthy, I do take the point that some people are making that goal difference is an extra point, but I would like to think we're not relying on goal difference to get promoted. I'm absolutely delighted for Buchanan. It's great to have him back. It's like he's never been away. What a fantastic strike. It seems strange that Willumsson should be taking the corners but in all fairness, despite his height and physicality, he's not that great in the air, so it's not so much of a surprise and his delivery was really good. I think Stansfield is going to get well in 20 goals this season. He just needs to work on his knees slide celebration 🤣🤣 Ben Davies is a proper defender. It would be really interesting to hear your thoughts on the top 5 summer signings now with the emergence of Davies and Gardner-Hickman. The whole performance was a very comfortable and confident 2 - 0 victory. I guess it's a reflection of how well we're doing and how far we've come that some fans aren't happy with a 2 - 0 win. I guess there's no pleasing some people. It's great to see us move up into automatic places. It will be good to get back to the top of the league and once we're there, stay there! I'm looking forward to the games over the festive period. Time to rotate and make the most of our wonderful squad. I hope you both have a wonderful Christmas. KRO 💙
Thank you very much for your comment Richard which is greatly appreciated. All good points Richard. I love the one about Jay having to work on his knee slide. I must admit that made me laugh when I watched it back! If we average two goals a game for the rest of the season then we will get close to scoring 100 however goal difference is as much about how few we concede as it is about how many we score so I don't think goal difference is going to be a major issue for us this season. KRO!
congrats on 2nd, we met a cambridge team full of life, closing us down. we went 2 vs 1 up happy days, but no they continued closing down and got a penalty 2 vs 2. well played cambridge.
Thank you very much for your comment Neil which is greatly appreciated. We had a similar issue a few weeks ago when we were supposed to beat Northampton at home, however we created loads of chances but couldn’t score the second and they equalised in the 97th minute. It was a real choker! KRO!
Excelente round up thanks. Note their manager has just been sacked! Worst team I have seen at St Andrew’s this year. Agreed Davis is excellent a need to sign him for sure! KRO from 🇧🇷 Brazil. Keshi still missing on my apple iPhone by the way!
Thank you very much for your comment Andy which is greatly appreciated. I saw that they have sacked their manger but they were really poor to be honest! I wonder why Keshi is missing when you look on the iPhone, that is strange! P.s I’ve just checked the website on my iPhone and I can see Keshi! KRO!
@BCFCRoyalBlue thanks for checking. Funny another lady supporter informed me she couldn’t see him on her IPhone in the UK! A glitch the club should try to check for sure. Thanks for checking anyway. Looking forward to your next video. KRO
The only issue I had about the game was that I would like to have seen CD bring on Leonard instead of Harris - I know he did eventually but I just think giving him more game time would be more advantageous long term. I am a big fan of Willumson, gives us so much forward drive & is happy to go back & tackle as well Enjoyed the podcast as usual. Great work & thanks. KRO
Thanks Paul. Especially as Harris is on loan. Surely makes sense to start our own players especially when they are stronger and prove to have impact in games. Thanks for the kind words, we really appreciate it, KRO! :)
I saw that this morning as well. Not surprised with the run of form but that team on Saturday just didn't look bothered. Very strange. Thanks for the kind words, merry Christmas to you as well. KRO! :)
I must say, especially in the first half how easy it was to take the ball off the bristol players. When we lost it we got it back. Was like taking candy from kids as they say. Thought it was brilliant how they hunted the ball down to gain control of ball. The intensity was immense. 2nd half most definitely game management
Hi guys, great podcast as usual. I agree with you regarding game management - so important to keep key players injury free with all the games coming up at a crucial time in the season. Is it just me, or has the team sharpened up a bit since Tom Huddlestone joined the coaching staff, especially with set pieces? KRO 🙂
Thanks Nigel, appreciate the kind words :) I think he is a great coach who is hugely respected. No doubt he will have had an impact. I also think putting Davies at CB and Bielek at RB has made us much stronger defensively as well. Clean sheets are now more realistic than the start of the season. Thanks again, KRO! :)
Great again Chaps! Actually did not think of it like that where CD could be saying take the foot off the gear, very clever! Agree Ben Davies is no nonsense just gets that ball away! I do think though the chances we have…. We should put to bed 🛌 Anyway 3 points in the bag on to the next KRO!
Thank you very much for your comment Donna which is greatly appreciated. It would be great if we could score a few more just to make games a little more comfortable however as you say, 3 points in the bag and that is all that really matters! We have to make Ben Davies a permanent signing as he has made such a difference since he came in alongside Klarer. KRO!
Thank you very much for your comment Graham which is greatly appreciated. A few people have asked that. I guess he must be smashing it in training and providing the ball in the right places. KRO!
Hi guys, I was more than happy with the performance on Saturday and we look so much more solid at the back now we’ve got Ben Davies in the 3. I think we will score more goals in the 2nd half of the season when these teams are tiring over the season and quality comes through Onwards and upwards KRO
Totally agree with this Charley, we have ridiculous squad depth and this will play a huge part in the second half of the season and also over this coming Christmas period where it's particularly testing on squads. Thanks for commenting, KRO! :)
Hi Garry &Matt , another 3 points , 1st half could of had 8 should of had 4 ,got 2 totally bossed the 1st half , 2nd half drifted in and out , came out thinking how was that only 2-0 , KRO
Definitely good game management. A humiliated defender that’s 5-0 down with 20 minutes left is going to leave a bit in a challenge against a ‘25 million pound’ forward. Nothing good can happen in that instance. KRO always brilliant videos
Thank you very much for your comment Michael which is greatly appreciated. It is good game management and ensuring our players are not inured and as fresh as possible. Fair play to Chris Davies. KRO!
Sadly I had to miss the game as my son was ill - Still BCFC game me a full refund on both tickets (popped into the ticket office early Saturday) - which was nice. I half expected a bigger margin of victory as I couldn't be there (which would have been typical) - but overall happy with the result. KRO (hope the cold shifts for Boxing day!)
Sorry to hear that Steve. I sincerely hope your son is doing better! 3 points is the most important thing and we now move onto our next game to start this busy Christmas period. Bring it on 😊 KRO!
A bit funny seeing the 193 cm/6'4 Willumsson taking corners. He has described him self as a unusual player anyway, better with his feet than head 😊 (and I agree he does do a lot of under the radar good plays). But his corners seemed good actually (but he could as well be a physical presence in the box, maybe it wasn't needed in this game? I only watched the highlights). Has Thor been on corners be4? Cheers icelandic fan. 🇮🇸
Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. Thor taking corners is a relatively new thing. It seems to be a good option as he gets the ball into the danger areas most time. Good player, really important for us. KRO!
Fantastic job lads, I look forward to your view on the games, I heard the reason why we are called bluenoses is because back in the day people used to have snuff tobacco and that Birmingham added blue colouring to it, hence the blues fans had blue on their noses, Carry on the good work lads, 😊😊
you are correct we keep taking the foot off the gas and in all honesty we should not i guarantee this season will come down to automatic promotion and the play offs Goal difference will be the key... either way we are going up be that via the play offs it will be Goal difference
Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. As long as we keep winning games then the amount of goals is less of an issue. We are doing ok in terms of scoring goals overall. KRO!
As bad as the referee and his 2 assistants were. The referee got the offside decision in our own half right. I'm not a referee, but I know the kick is taken from where the offside player touches the ball. So if that's in your own half, that's where the kick is taken from. The player is obviously offside when the ball is played before moving back into their own half. I hope this clears it up for you and anyone else confused by the decision. Law 11 - offside KRO 💙
Thank you for your comment Richard which is greatly appreciated. Someone else has just pointed that out which I wasn't aware of, despite the fact that many years ago I used to be a referee myself! KRO!
@BCFCRoyalBlue You obviously didn't know what you were doing 😉😆🤣🤣 No worries. It's the second time it's happened, I think, this season. I can't remember what game off the top of my head, but I'm almost certain this wasn't the first time this has happened. KRO 💙
Sorry to tell you this lads, but the referee was correct to give the offside free kick in our half. If you are caught offside, and then move into your own half and receive the ball. The free kick is given at the place the ball was recieved. The whole stadium singing "you're not fit to referee" is absolutely hilarious.
Thank you for your comment David which is greatly appreciated. Wow, now that has taken me by surprise. Many years ago I was a Senior County Referee and I did all of the FA courses as part of my training and I can honestly say, I never knew that. Thank you for the clarification. KRO!
Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. That is the point of being try to make. We could make games a lot more comfortable but we haven't been short of scoring goals this season. KRO!
Klarer and Davis was the partnership I said right from the Rotherham game ,, I stated davis is better defender than belik but was told , no,belik is a better ball player ,the captain and all that ,,now every one is calling davis and Klarer the ones ,,let's just hope CD dosnt play his favourites in defence if we need to go back to a back 4 ,,great win blues ...kro
Thank you very much for your comment David which is greatly appreciated. Beilek is a decent footballer but Ben Davies is a better centre back. I think we are lucky to have them both to be honest. KRO!
In a word “underwhelmed” one goal and a dodgy penalty still waiting for potential champion winning performance. Not every game all out, but giving Bristol a thrashing is a good confidence boast for your forwards especially after a early goal, unless for a dodgy penalty it was going in the same direction as Northampton. You will not say that about goals scored if we miss out on goal difference at the end of season. Perhaps I am being over critical but just a sense of frustration
Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. We are still scoring plenty of goals, although I agree we could make games a little more comfortable. Even if it comes to goal difference at the end of the season I still think we will be ok as we are not conceding many now either. KRO!
💙 💙 YES HAPPY TIMES GARY AND MATT RESPECT NO WORRIES KEEP RIGHT ON 👍 YES WIN IS THE BEST WAY UP 🎄 🎅 🥳 YES 🥳 🎄 🎅 🥳 👉 BIG MACH ONE 👉 WEEK ON MONDAY CRAWLEY TOWN 0 BIRMINGHAM CITY 4...... 😀 LOOKING 🎄 🎅 🥳 TO 👉 BOXING DAY YES M&B 🍺 🥂 😀 😉 BURTTON ALBION 1 BIRMINGHAM CITY 3 ....

I'd take 2-0 every game its for the birds all this we should be scoring 4 or 5 every game seems to me Blues cant do right from wrong still winning to many fickle fans.
I'd rather we not smash teams as when we turn up either at home or away 9/10 teams keep all there players behind the ball so we can't play and I recon if we was to smash someone then I recon it will make teams worse against us
Thank you very much for your comment Paul which is greatly appreciated. Teams definitely change tactics against us with the vast majority playing five at the back and use the low block. This makes it harder for us to blow teams away however as long as we keep on winning a high score line is less of a priority. KRO!

can we mention that Allsop pass to May in the second half!! was world class! great stuff as per!
Yes, excellent I thought he was going to get an assist
Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. Yes, excellent! Allsop has been fantastic for us and I always feel like we are more solid with him in goal! KRO!
Goal difference is basically an extra point.
Thank you very much for your comment Tony which is greatly appreciated. I certainly hope it does not come to goal difference, but even if it does we will be ok I think. KRO!
Goal difference. 😄 We're not going to need goal difference
We currently have the second best goal difference. I'm not sure what all the panic is about (not saying your comment is a panic one btw 😁). You're right, goal difference is like an extra point. However, I think we will achieve more than enough points regardless of goal difference to get promoted at worst as runners up, but I fully expect us to win the league.

Don’t care about scoring loads of goals.
We are indeed only second in goal difference.
We will still smash the title

Thank you very much for your comment Tony which is greatly appreciated. It really was a 2-0 battering wasn't it. KRO!
Definitely good game management. A humiliated defender that’s 5-0 down with 20 minutes left is going to leave a bit in a challenge against a ‘25 million pound’ forward. Nothing good can happen in that instance. KRO always brilliant videos
Thank you very much for your comment Michael which is greatly appreciated. It is good game management and ensuring our players are not inured and as fresh as possible. Fair play to Chris Davies. KRO!
Sadly I had to miss the game as my son was ill - Still BCFC game me a full refund on both tickets (popped into the ticket office early Saturday) - which was nice. I half expected a bigger margin of victory as I couldn't be there (which would have been typical) - but overall happy with the result. KRO (hope the cold shifts for Boxing day!)
Sorry to hear that Steve. I sincerely hope your son is doing better!
3 points is the most important thing and we now move onto our next game to start this busy Christmas period. Bring it on 😊
KRO!
A bit funny seeing the 193 cm/6'4 Willumsson taking corners. He has described him self as a unusual player anyway, better with his feet than head 😊 (and I agree he does do a lot of under the radar good plays). But his corners seemed good actually (but he could as well be a physical presence in the box, maybe it wasn't needed in this game? I only watched the highlights). Has Thor been on corners be4? Cheers icelandic fan. 🇮🇸
Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. Thor taking corners is a relatively new thing. It seems to be a good option as he gets the ball into the danger areas most time. Good player, really important for us. KRO!
Yes better corners, with pace and better direction, I felt Alex's were to floated in, needed more pace on the ball KRO
Fantastic job lads, I look forward to your view on the games, I heard the reason why we are called bluenoses is because back in the day people used to have snuff tobacco and that Birmingham added blue colouring to it, hence the blues fans had blue on their noses,
Carry on the good work lads, 😊😊
Thank you very much for your comment Dean which is greatly appreciated. That's an interesting fact about Blue Noses that I wasn't aware of! KRO!
A win is a win yes we love to see us score 7 or more goals but overall I very happy with the performance
Thank you very much for your comment Calvin which is greatly appreciated. Exactly, another three points on the board! KRO!
you are correct we keep taking the foot off the gas and in all honesty we should not i guarantee this season will come down to automatic promotion and the play offs Goal difference will be the key... either way we are going up be that via the play offs it will be Goal difference
Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. As long as we keep winning games then the amount of goals is less of an issue. We are doing ok in terms of scoring goals overall. KRO!
As bad as the referee and his 2 assistants were. The referee got the offside decision in our own half right. I'm not a referee, but I know the kick is taken from where the offside player touches the ball. So if that's in your own half, that's where the kick is taken from. The player is obviously offside when the ball is played before moving back into their own half. I hope this clears it up for you and anyone else confused by the decision.
Law 11 - offside
KRO 💙
Thank you for your comment Richard which is greatly appreciated. Someone else has just pointed that out which I wasn't aware of, despite the fact that many years ago I used to be a referee myself! KRO!
@BCFCRoyalBlue You obviously didn't know what you were doing 😉😆🤣🤣
No worries. It's the second time it's happened, I think, this season. I can't remember what game off the top of my head, but I'm almost certain this wasn't the first time this has happened. KRO 💙
@ I said I was a referee, I didn’t say I was a good one! KRO!
@BCFCRoyalBlue 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 love that reply 😁
KRO 💙
2-0 massacre!! Another clean sheet!! KRO 💪🏼 FEA
Love it. Up the blues mate. KRO! :)
Well done Blues
Thank you very much for your comment Nick which is greatly appreciated. KRO!
Sorry to tell you this lads, but the referee was correct to give the offside free kick in our half. If you are caught offside, and then move into your own half and receive the ball. The free kick is given at the place the ball was recieved. The whole stadium singing "you're not fit to referee" is absolutely hilarious.
Thank you for your comment David which is greatly appreciated. Wow, now that has taken me by surprise. Many years ago I was a Senior County Referee and I did all of the FA courses as part of my training and I can honestly say, I never knew that. Thank you for the clarification. KRO!
If we continue scoring goals at 2 per game, we would be on 104 at the end of the session.
Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. That is the point of being try to make. We could make games a lot more comfortable but we haven't been short of scoring goals this season. KRO!
Davies is on loan, I believe. Time to make a move and get him on a contract
Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. He is on loan and the sooner we can get him on a permanent deal the better. KRO!
Klarer and Davis was the partnership I said right from the Rotherham game ,, I stated davis is better defender than belik but was told , no,belik is a better ball player ,the captain and all that ,,now every one is calling davis and Klarer the ones ,,let's just hope CD dosnt play his favourites in defence if we need to go back to a back 4 ,,great win blues ...kro
Thank you very much for your comment David which is greatly appreciated. Beilek is a decent footballer but Ben Davies is a better centre back. I think we are lucky to have them both to be honest. KRO!
In a word “underwhelmed” one goal and a dodgy penalty still waiting for potential champion winning performance. Not every game all out, but giving Bristol a thrashing is a good confidence boast for your forwards especially after a early goal, unless for a dodgy penalty it was going in the same direction as Northampton. You will not say that about goals scored if we miss out on goal difference at the end of season. Perhaps I am being over critical but just a sense of frustration
Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. We are still scoring plenty of goals, although I agree we could make games a little more comfortable. Even if it comes to goal difference at the end of the season I still think we will be ok as we are not conceding many now either. KRO!

Thanks very much Paul. Loving the more festive emoji's this time of year :)
KRO mate!
I'd take 2-0 every game its for the birds all this we should be scoring 4 or 5 every game seems to me Blues cant do right from wrong still winning to many fickle fans.
Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. KRO!
I'd rather we not smash teams as when we turn up either at home or away 9/10 teams keep all there players behind the ball so we can't play and I recon if we was to smash someone then I recon it will make teams worse against us
Thank you very much for your comment Paul which is greatly appreciated. Teams definitely change tactics against us with the vast majority playing five at the back and use the low block. This makes it harder for us to blow teams away however as long as we keep on winning a high score line is less of a priority. KRO!
