Come on Hull & Barnsley!  (Sounds like an old railway company.)

Sounds like we're frustrating them which is a positive sign.

Not many goals in the current matches yet.

Heard there's well over 1000 there from Donny. Anyone confirm?

Too cold for them at the match to type on their Blackberrys, or they've got wicketkeeper's gloves on to keep the chill out, or both.

Not sure but I could have sworn you were one of them as the weatherman said at 9am today that Frost was expected in Birmingham this morning. :coat:

If you look on bbc text of the game, every other text includes the phrase \"clearance made by Beye\". This win could kick start a run towards safety over the Christmas period. And that's before Diouf comes back! Good times ahead.

Post by: DaveDRFC on December 10, 2011, 04:25:16 pm
According to the guy on Sky Sports News this would be our first away win in 10 attempts. Must have imagined those victories at Peterborough and Ipswich!

Would still be a great point if we can hold on with a couple of other scores going our way.

Totally agree - was about to post the same

(P.S. Last time I said that was when we equalised in the Peterboro game)

Yeah, can't complain about a point away to them really can you. Still, I hate it when Rovers throw a lead away!
Title: Re: Birmingham City v Rovers
Post by: benaldo on December 10, 2011, 04:35:12 pm
Jesus, they've had 11 attempts on target!! Ikeme might have gifted a goal to them but he saved a fair few others!

How many times do we concede late on? we`ve thrown this game away again!

So predictable.

Told you. Shit centre of midfield in Stock and Gillett, Friend on, it was bound to end in tears.

With all due respect, how do you know that they were the reasons we conceded?

You're just making assumptions to fit your grievances with the team.

Post by: MrFrost on December 10, 2011, 04:54:49 pm
You there benaldo? If not, why not to hear people's opinions on here before you start blaming your usual suspects again.
Title: Re: Birmingham City v Rovers
Post by: Akinfenwa on December 10, 2011, 04:55:16 pm
Conceded late against a team who have played twice since we last played. Jeez.
Title: Re: Birmingham City v Rovers

Sounds like we've been half decent. Just can't break this appalling habit of conceding soft goals

Slagged off Stock the other week when he was man of the match...he knows bugger all, so you can confidently ignore his meanderings.

After all...he predicted a victory, 2-0 I believe, like I say, knows nowt.

Post by: Dutch Uncle on December 10, 2011, 05:08:49 pm
That is the fourth time this season we have lost a league match after leading (Brighton, Blackpool, Middlesboro)

That is already our equal highest in a season since 1993 which is the start of when I have reliable data on times of goals scored.

I remember reading not so long ago an article by a sports psychologist who said once a team starts conceding late, the players begin to believe it will happen and thus it becomes more likely. He advocated some mental training methods to break the vicious cycle. Anyone have his address?
Title: Re: Birmingham City v Rovers
Post by: BillyStubbsTears on December 10, 2011, 05:22:20 pm
Sports psychologist Dutch? Dunt mek mi chuckle. Time were the best psychological incentive not to concede a late goal was the thought of answering to Billy Bremner in the changing room.

Any road, if they need some therapy, try this.

Post by: Dutch Uncle on December 10, 2011, 05:33:27 pm
Take your point BST, but desperate times and all that - and Saunders is certainly no Bremner

\"I think therefore I will not concede?\" - it's that Monty Python Greece versus Germany game all over again. Maybe that psychologist was John Cleese and Rovers have been employing him all the time, but got the Silly Walks in defence instead?

BTW - Having trouble opening that link - have you fallen foul of Dutch censors (not as difficult as you might think)

Feel so bad and disappointed!  Hoped we were going to hang on for another win when I checked the score just after half time!  But anyway, fingers crossed for 3 points next week for a Christmas present!
