Yes of course, sorry. I wasn't thinking. Been a bit busy having to constantly reach for the defibrillator for some of today's posters!
Leitner played well when he came on, but he wasn't all that in preseason so I'm not surprised he didn't start. I did expect McLean to start, though. I thought Tettey was very good. I would like to see him turn up field with the ball on occasion and attack the opponents central defence. Onel could easily have had a hat trick. He was just outside the far post with a shot he could have put in the net. From what I saw today, it's up to DF to get it right now, because he has the players to do the job. And I think he will.
The goals are up from Sky but it's asking me to Log in. http://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/11461082/birmingham-2-2-norwich
Spot on CS. I can see Leitner but not McClean, who looked sharp in pre-season and is our left footed free-kick taker. Agree also about Onel's almost hat-trick and he's been on fire. Rhodes looked good and almost scored twice, but didn't have enough service. He will score more though. Had we gone for Pukki next to Trybull and McLean on his right (like pre-season), we could well have have won this one. We certainly have the players now and have yet to see what Buendia can add. With Lewis back, we'll be tighter in defence and more threatening on the overlap as well.

Was it Rhodes who headed the ball at the keeper from about 5 meters? Who was the NCFC player rampaging through midfield and opened up their defence? I couldn’t distinguish them from the Sky video.
I never expected Birmingham to be an easy game and it wasn't, but plenty of positives like coming back twice and showing our fitness and work rate, Onel looks good as did a few other players, created some good chances. But only 1 game played, far too early to judge.
You can only say that if we started with the same group of players as last season, which we clearly didn't You've moaned often enough about losing our two top scorers give it a chance for goodness sake
So you just say this every season and that's all fine? I thought last season was patience and rebuilt. Is this another rebuild again? Because I thought you thought the last rebuild was great? That worked very well, we finished below Ipswich. I thought he needed 3 windows and a season to make his mark on the team. He's made a skid mark.
