2 more decent cbs at that back and a competent defensive midfielder and I reckon this could of been 1-0 instead.The only small positive I can find is that 3, possibly all, of these goals could have been easily avoided.
Not through a minor tactical tweak or something fancy. Simply through doing basic stuff properly. That means it’s fixable and it fucking needs to be. This needs to be the absolute low point.
With respect to the attack I have nothing however but it feels like giving Moran a go wouldn’t be a bad shout. And Devine need to pull his finger out of his arse.

I think we are significantly worse than last time we went down. That time around, we at least had a little attacking quality but a shocking defence. This squad has nothing going for it.
Someone on here posted the team: Brown, Hume, Treacy, Nicholson literally all head and shoulders above all of these bell ends. Treacy wasn't even sober and was on Twitter taking selfies of his bum hole. Still better than these dickheads.
The present regime won't invest in league 1, we have not managed to secure new owners in this division,so no chance in the league below.Always an upside. Hemmings have kept us in the Championship with less than zero ambition to do anything. It's been purgatory. I've been bored shitless for years. Therefore relegation excites me. Change. Hemmings can fuck off - they will, whether to Zedan or someone else. They won't hang onto it in L1. Many teams have risen from there in the last decade. We've been overtaken by all of them whilst doing nothing except existing in the Championship.
So don't expect any rebuild any promotion challenge, we will just end up fighting off relegation again.☹️🥴😡

These players are incapable of doing the basics - that's the fucking problem
In a way I admire him, he has taken the much harder choice coming here, he needs our support not criticism right now.Indeed. It's a bit harsh to blame Alexander after 2 games. He can't be responsible for some of the abject football we've seen tonight.
As for the players - well where do you start……
Give it a rest man.“Stronger squad than last season!” cried the NPCs, happy to see the back of club captain Ben Whiteman and ‘tactically inept’ Heckingbottom.
Hecky was shit, we're still shit. They're not mutually exclusive and I don't know why you're trying to score points off people when we're getting shafted. Nobody's in the mood.

My happiest memories have come in L1. So bring it on. We must rebuild the whole football club. Staying up just keeps the Hemmings and all their cronies in situ.
Thank Fuck for that.
We're top of the league for worst goal difference, if that's anything?
Meh, 1st home win for Birmingham.

100% this. I like how a few people are quick to jump on Alexander's back already. The squad he's inherited is utter dog wank and would probably do poorly in league 2.
Shite with Hecky set up so we appointment a manager that wants to set up the same way. Nothing has changed. What's the point.
Agreed the squad is hanging, I do feel sorry for any manager lumbered with this set of talentless twats but repeating the same shite as Hecky won't change anything. Rinse and repeat.

Can we scrap the 'team for Saturday' threads in future, please? Because seeing all those players names in the same post actually makes me feel sick.
Best and truest post of the night by a long shot.Really? Literally all on him this.
You can't blame a manager coming in outside the window for the shite you have assembled.
Forced the club into Lang, never signed a decent centre half and extended contracts of the loser crew.
Heck is the most damaging manager we have ever had and he won't work at this level again because of it. If he's laughing, he's insane.
