A very weak performance and I hope that Sheehan admits as much. Fulton needs to be retired, he was the weakest link the whole game

 

[IsraJack]

VIP scoring, Fisher MOM, Happy days

 

[eteb]

Hope you're right mate but not impressed by any of the new signings really - Galbraith and inoussa aside

There will be fans all over the country watching similar performances…we’re through to the next rounde you're right

Sounds like an episode of the twilight zone

 

[Rhydian]

If we agree to cancel Fisher’s contract tonight he can leave on a high note. Like Borja Baston. Pretty please?

 

[Itchysphincter]

Feel sorry for Sorinola there, poor pen.

Well done The Fish.

Not sure the manager sent them out like that but whatever happened it didn’t work and we served up a turd.

 

[Blackpooljack]

At least there are still loads of " small " clubs left in for us to get in the 3rd round

 

[bakajack]

The stats are appalling

Possession we had almost double Plymouth but still coughed up 15 shots on goal with four on target compared to our 15 shots with three on target

 

[Martyn - Derwydd]

When is the draw for the next round

Sheehan needs to up his game if he wants a decent managerial career. We are still playing boring slow labored football.

Got out of jail there.

Job done.

Enough said by others about that performance in the second half.

Really hope though that the players signed from overseas start to get up to the pace and physicality of the game over here as soon as possible. The signings standing out at the moment are those with experience of the UK game.

I do think though that the criticism on here of Parker is way over the top, he had a very good first half and made some lovely breaks in the second. Just lacked composure when it mattered most. I see signs of a good player.

Fingers crossed for that striker. By God we need it.

 

[Longlostjack]

Birmingham lost at home to Port Vale. Just saying.

 

[Frankie Burrows Cap]

I understand the line up and premeditated changes from a managerial point of view, but no wonder crowds in the league cup keep dropping like a stone.

Both cup competitions are used as friendlies up until the 1/4 final by teams in all 4 divisions. Fans will continue to get annoyed/frustrated by performances like that, but reading anything into any of the games played tonight or two weeks ago (see also 3 weeks time) is pointless IMO.

Take it for what it is and judge the manager and players on Saturday against Sheffield Wednesday and more importantly over the next few months league fixtures.

Burgess looks a fantastic player. And Casey is also very good.
