thinga may have changed drastically by Sunday! Fingers crossed but if we don’t have a new manager in place I’m very concerned. Can’t blame Daws if he chops and changes after the abject display last Sunday. I’d play seri and the doc in midfield. But who knows what we will do. think tufan needs a kick up the arse and it might suit him coming on when legs are tiring. Name ya team

Birmingham City were the first English club side to play in a European competition and the first to get to the final of a European competition.
I know Doc's distribution lets him down sometimes, but feels like the whole team somehow gets lifted 10 yards further up the pitch by his drive and energy. I really hope he not only plays but is given a little run so he doesn't have to prove himself in 45 mins or be out again. I also think we need someone closer to Oscar, but then I've felt our front 3 have been too far apart for pretty much a season and a half. Tyler Smith was our most effective striker pre season and scored within about 10 mins of coming on at QPR. I also think his pace alongside Oscar would be a good shout.
Agree re Doc, disagree re Smith. Smith should only be coming on to see games out provided we're ahead. Adds a bit of stretch late on and gives us a counter threat etc. Other than that, I don't see how he's got the quality to be starting in this squad. QPR for instance... Good finish but his first touch nearly ruined it completely for him.
Tyler Smith is surely a write off at this point. I’d even rather Longman or the young lad Simms get minutes over him up front.
Tyler Smith looks quick because he's small and his legs move fast but he gets outpaced by literally every defender.
