    Are you for real ? We are 2nd unbeaten since Wolves and had over 25 shots..
    It would be nice to win every single game but realistically we wont.

    I accept that POV, all the same, why on earth are we going 2 down at home to any team in this league?

    Im also expecting to beat Blackpool next week convincingly, they're fluking draws and have 2 points! They are a club in a complete mess, we should be walking it against a side like that.

    We should be winning games like that... Whats wrong with me saying that!? Im right in what I say, we shouldn't be letting teams going ahead all the time. Have we had a decent first half? Please remind me when we did.

    I don't know, maybe ask the other team would they kindly not try and score against us? lol.

    From what I saw the two Birmingham goals were pretty good, the positive side is when we do go behind I feel that we can still win this, didn't last season.

    Watford ,just a bit of perspective we are still on a great run .
    Hughton's unbeaten in 10 stat is under threat .

    Im happy with the start to the season, and to get a point from the position we were in im happy with that. Im not happy however with the constant letting the opposition take the lead. Hey ho though, were still unbeaten and we only need to beat Shrewsbury and Blackpool to get to 10 games.

    I think we're all disappointed with the result, ICHB. Upsets will happen from time to time in any sport when the lesser team raises their game as Brum did today. Personally, I think they fully deserved their point.

    I'm not so much disappointed with the result - sometimes you don't get the luck and you have to shrug your shoulders.

    But it is really not good enough conceding in the first ten minutes, again. And it is ridiculous to concede twice and have to come back from it. The defence just isn't looking the sum of its parts, IMO.

    If we score two goals at home, we should be taking 3 points. Our defence, given personnel, is capable of getting a clean sheet against just about any team in the league, so conceding two to Birmingham is really poor.

    Adams needs to set aside this week to focus on getting it right at the back - look at the problems. We shouldn't be walking onto the pitch conceited and expecting to cruise to victory. Especially at home, we should race out of the blocks and never look back. If the defence have barely wiped the sleep out of their eyes by the time they're walking out, it gives the rest of the team a mountain to climb. That won't get us promoted.

    Don't know who it was for the second goal. I think it was Turner, but could have been Hooiveld, but they got horribly wrong side of their man, allowed him to bring the ball down and lay in off for Gray to curl in a lovely finish.

    First goal, well...less said about that the better.

    Turner lost the ball when it fell, but hooiveld was also to blame. He just needs to get more accurate with his headers, as 3 went just over the bar, or were slightly wide of goal.

    First time I've seen Hooiveld today, must say I wasn't as impressed as I thought I would have been.

    On a positive note, the atmosphere was a lot better today than the last two home games. I've decided I don't care what people think of me I'm singing my heart out in the Jarrold. Once a few of us started a lot more joined in. Made for a much more enjoyable experience.

    Same here he seems too similar to Turner to be a productive partnership, Tina needs someone with a bit of pace which R.Bennett has but is unfortunetly out for a while.
