Matchday Thread Birmingham City v PNE | 13.10.26 | KO:8PM | Championship

Well based on some of the fans thoughts after two games I wouldn’t blame him
It’s not Alexander’s fault he has inherited a defence that should have been strengthened a couple of seasons ago. Also has an injury prone strike force due to our obsession with recruiting players with dodgy fitness records.
In the list of people to lay the blame at Alexander is way down at this stage.
It is possible that managers with championship experience would not touch us with a barge pole. This job would challenge even the most seasoned of managers.
 
Man Uniteds Lisandro Martinez has just called out the ownership on live tv in an interview, saying he wanted more investment from the owners in the summer and that the problems are higher than the manager, also saying the team isn’t good enough. Wish one of our lot would do that haha
 
Can we have an updated statement from Penrose about the takeover and how far we are off it and reassurance that we will do everything in our power to support GA to stay in the league by spending big in the January transfer window
 
He's not good enough.....

Shocking appointment
Who would you have employed? That actually wanted the job or was realistic... 2 games in and the knives being sharpened. I wanted Alex Neil back, why would he leave Millwall for this shitshow. Probably the best appointment we could have made given the state the club is being run in currently

To solve a lot of the issues in football the likes of united et al need a lot less investing - that’s what’s killing the game in the lower leagues
 
I read an interesting thread of tweets today about West Ham's Championship record signing Arne Engels. There's been some criticism of him just being sideways passes and set pieces whilst a few Celtic fans responded and said they thought the same, but the difference in when he plays and doesn't was stark.
I was far from team Whiteman, and I still think he was completely replaceable, but the lack of someone in this midfield to place their foot on the ball and set the tempo is quite clear to be seen. Thompson frantically turns to his favoured left and spreads it as far away from him as possible, Devine clearly wants to be the progressive outlet and Ben's supposed replacement Leo Leroy seems to be more of a progressive player himself rather than a deep-lying anchor.
 
Think the best thing to happen to us will be to get relegated and get Alexander to build a team capable of competing and hopefully do an Ipswich.

Birmingham were relegated to league 1 and got promoted and are now competing for top 6.

Reading, Blackpool, Bradford, Huddersfield, Luton, Barnsley etc.would disagree.

None off our shower shit would as they know they are only here as put recruitment is poor and if it was reasonably good most would have been shipped out long ago and doing the rounds in league 1

He's a world cup and Copa America winner.
Not sure any of the pne lot have won as much as the annual family bingo at Christmas.
