Having up to 8 senior players out obviously doesn't help, but an opportunity missed even against a moneybags outfit .

Never mind.
Done well to stay in that for as long as we did. Glad we have signed Edwards because List’s goal contributions are simply not enough for a genuine forward.
I don’t have the vocabulary to explain how I feel about Sweeney’s defending for their goal.

Poor header out from Sweeney to give the ball away, followed by a disappointingly lackadaisical attempt to get back and recover the situation. Otherwise he was fine.
Couple of great moments from Freeman, that recovery tackle on about 75 mins was superb.
Also thought Freestone was excellent against a couple of bloody good players who targetted him remorselessly.
Taye was my MOTM, 3 superb saves, no rustiness, controlled a couple of woeful back passes and cleared his lines well.

But that's the problem, every other game at least I feel like he is directly responsible for us conceding a goal. I have absolutely zero confidence in us keeping a clean sheet when I see his name on the teamsheet.

Revell clearly likes the other elements of his game, which are important to the way they want to build up

Have you heard of confirmation bias?
He ain't that bad by a long way. Easily a L1 level CB.

It wasn't a blunder, it was bad judgement, ok the header was poor but lots of headed clearances are, it was wholly recoverable, had he sensed the urgency. When the play was coming back his way and going past him.

Header was bad, but worse was the fact he then stood and let Stansfield run past him. On another note I'm not convinced Kemp's goal was offside.

Do like Listy but even though we’ve had injuries up front he’s had too much game time for me this season . Think it’s time to move now unfortunately.

Sad but true. He has the odd great moment but is a serial non-deliverer, especially since his injury.
I suspect Revs 3.0 (the one who currently can do little wrong – unless Charlie was fit and he chose not to play him last night) knows that too, hence the signing of Kyle Edwards.

Remember the dogs abuse Taye got after that Wycombe game?
Guy who has hardly put a foot wrong in 75 matches for us and came in against the side top of the league having hardly played a minute all season after injury, and unsurprisingly looked a bit rusty and uncomfortable.

Aye. We are a fickle bunch.
He'll be chuffed with today, a couple of saves for his show reel if we sign Murphy permanently and he wants out.
Not sure he'll be happy to stay next season without some firm assurances.

Sweeney is a fucking liability. How many goals a season does he cost us?
What's even more painful is we got rid of Thompson because Sweeney was higher in the pecking order. Unbelievable.

No.
We sold him because we received an offer that matched our valuation and he wanted to go and would have gone for nothing in a few months.

How hard did we try to keep him though? Why would he stay to be 4th choice behind Sweeney? That's just insulting.

MK offered him a three year deal, on better money than us.
I have absolutely zero problem with us not offering a CB who will be 35 this year a deal of that length or value.
Edit: And I really rate the guy, but it simply wouldn't have made sense for us.

Fair enough, I didn't realise it was a three year deal. Thought it was only two.
My initial point still stands though, Sweeney is a bloody liability. I hope Goode is fit enough to become one of our first choice cbs.
It wasn't even the misplaced header that pissed me off, that happens, especially when trying to create something. It was the complete lack of positional sense following the initial error. He literally just let one of the most dangerous forwards in the league stroll through on goal.

The first is just what he’s always had - such a terrible lack of composure , such a great chance and I think we could have defended that and got them on the break .

That season before he got badly injured I never felt he was going to miss when through on goal. Being in and out the team probably isn't ideal for that kind of thing.

Certain apps can facilitate this. (*So I’ve heard*).
On the subject of tonight’s game, I was happy overall. I’d been mildly wary of playing Birmingham in the league as I assumed they’d teach us a footballing lesson, but after last night I’m not so concerned. I genuinely couldn’t see any great gulf in quality and apart from us not taking clear chances and them doing so, I thought the play was good and matched them the vast majority of the game. It took them to 82 minutes and a defensive slip to allow them to take advantage, so we can hardly say we weren’t at the races.
Having beaten some of the top teams, including away, and holding our own well against a team of City’s resources is no shame and nothing to be sniffed at. A striker with his shooting boots on could have seen us two up. Fine lines indeed.

As a point of warning, I will point out to you that that was a massively weakened Birmingham team (aware ours was also not what any of us would call our strongest XI).

Re: Tonight's game

Fair point and accepted. And we just knew from the start that Stansfield was going to end up making the difference for them. But I think they were expecting to ease past us and found it wasn’t quite what they were planning on. We can still hold our heads high.

I am hoping the fact they won, and to be honest were the better side throughout (granted we had two great chances to score), albeit in a pretty dour game, alongside them being clear and already with games to catch up on, means they go ahead and play the match with us on the Saturday rather than postponing because of international call-ups.
Being played on a Saturday afternoon, with no PL on that day, and us facing Birmingham, especially if we are still chasing the playoffs, could be a really big crowd and cracking atmosphere/day, and would make us far more money than yet another Tuesday night game.

They had to bring on the big guns to get over the line.
Also, it would've finished 0-0 if Charlie Goode wasn't suspended.
