McDog Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Just now, Infinitely Content said: We were basically up against a flying top half championship team there away from home in a feral atmosphere with a fully rotated team. We stepped up and matched them and then managed the game tremendously, in large part to do with the introduction of Schar and in particularly Tonali. League One. no?

Colos Short and Curlies Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 17 minutes ago, Big Geordie said: This has been some cup tie, mind. And we've just about done enough against a very physical Birmingham side. I thought we played the 'game' very well, didn't react and didn't get involved then hit them with a little quality to see it out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re a Championship side really, they’ve spent more than the majority of Championship teams on their squad. I imagine they will be in or around the play off positions next season.

Lush Vlad Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) I understand lower league teams want to put themselves about. But there’s a line. Proper hatchet men and snide stuff galore. Just chippy stuff, little niggly fouls, shirt pulls etc. But when the game opened up. They were doing their best to injure all our players. Got out mostly intact. Hopefully Burn is ok and just a precaution. Edited February 8 by Lush Vlad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye Eddie’s just confirmed it was his groin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucasol Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Just now, Nobody said: Howe must've won the same amount of cup games as we did during the entire Ashley tenure by now? Ashley era - 9 FA Cup wins and 22 League Cup wins in 14 and 15 seasons respectively Howe era - 4 FA Cup wins and 14 League Cup wins in 4 and 3 seasons respectively Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pancrate1892 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 We would have lost that easy a few year ago. Well done the players for dealing with that high octane shite and thuggery, especially those who've hardly kicked a ball Made me laugh them wanting Miley off when they committed about 3 red card offences Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Was just relieved when the final whistle went, was all sorts of emotions through that First half Birmingham played well combined with getting away with some kicking, second half they seemed to only focus on kicking us all over Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

relámpago blanco Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 1 hour ago, madras said: If they'd lumped it from the FK and equalised he's on for extra time saving the extra sub window for if it's needed. They lump it and don't score, he walks off after 30secs. Thats fair enough but if got injured we'd be fucked. I'd rather go out than take the risk with him when they were kicking the shit out of everyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
relámpago blanco Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 1 hour ago, Nucasol said: Agree, think Tripps is now in ahead of him. Mostly his decision making and delivery going forward that’s underwhelming at the moment. He's a good player but I think he will be one that blooms a little later.

TK-421 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Was a proper old school cup tie, but Birmingham were a bit OTT at times, and glad we didn't rise to it too much, and risk any reds for reactions/retaliation. Anyway, onwards, and here's hoping for a(nother) decent draw on Monday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
