Birmingham City v STFC

[The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey]

Getting a whupping here. Not impressed with much we are doing. Very lethargic.

[Peter Venkman]

We haven't played THAT badly we just havent created many chances.

3 or 4 shots and not one has troubled the keeper.

That’s being very kind

So, much like the last few seasons

I have to be honest i have not been that impressed with the keeper. Handling seems very poor to me. Even from the video the other day it seemed he had to have to attempts a lot to gather the ball.

[Riddick]

Usually caveats, preseason/higher opposition but Iandolo just hasn't got it. So slow when receiving the ball, not given fryers many options, always turns backwards.

Doughty injured? Otherwise this is the best team we have that is fit isn't it?

He looks awful today...Iandolo that is

I wouldn't sign him based on what I have seen so far. Does not look assured enough and has made a few errors.

Conroy looks flustered in midfield.

Big difference between the teams - they’ve hardly misplaced a pass or failed to control one.

We’re very weak up front. It’s a piece of piss for Brum.

[tans]

Doughty probably a sub for the second half

[Nemo]

Set up nicely for a 6-4 scoreline here.

[Peter Venkman]

Still have many defensive frailties especially to crosses.

The keeper does not fill me with any confidence, reminds me of Stuart Moore from a couple of seasons back.

Baudrey looks excellent at the back, Ballard less so. Reid is massive and gets up and down the pitch but his crossing is poor, Fryers is excellent attacking but not as good at the back but a vast improvement on Koiki.

Conroy looks lost in midfield, May made some good runs and was almost set up by Yates near the end inside the box but couldnt reach the through ball.

Iandolo has run around and been...well...Iandolo. Little end product.

Woolery has run his socks off chasing the balls down the channels but cannot get past his marker yet, he has had zero service through the middle.

Isgrove is small and light similar build to Twine and has beaten his man a few times but his crossing has not been great, he doesnt look anywhere near fitness to me.

We passed the ball well, the long ball down the channels early is the way we have played so far and its not working. When we pass it quick and short we look good.

Brum had a few fantastic players, Crowley is running midfield and easily the best player on the pitch, they have 3 speedy attackers that are causing us problems in Vassell, Bailey and Gardner who we are struggling to deal with.

[Batch]

oh dear, sounds pretty shit from your updates PV. No end product has been a trait of ours.


its only pre season
its only pre season
its only pre season

and relax.

We are screaming out for 3-5-2

[Peter Venkman]

We are screaming out for 3-5-2

We have no control of midfield at all, Conroy looks well out of his depth, no holding player no creative player, May is a box to box player but needs support.

We need a striker or 2 and at least one more creative midfielder.
