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?

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.

 

 

Looks like they will be for sure.

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.

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

So easily on pace for more.

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.

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.
