I absolutely love it when a manager sticks a brick right in the fecking mouth of prick doubters that know feck all :lol: :lol:
Kenny, tbf, Farke did EXACTLY what the doubters have been asking for…play Georgi in the 10 spot with someone else playing the no 9. And it worked incredibly well. We’re more than halfway through the season and only finally giving it a shot. Will have to see how it works in the future against more difficult teams, but an encouraging result nonetheless.

He'll lose the assist if true. Gotta say I thought it was a clean pass, need to see it again. Had Ampadu put his chance away it would have been 3 assists

When he bodychecked Cooper in the air and knocked him over, you could see Liam grinning as he got up. Bet he was thinking "I taught him that!" :)

Good win, albeit against a dreadful Birmingham side who've been a gimme for the whole league under Shrek. The real test is v Cardiff, anything less than a win would be a dreadful result.

It took Farke 26 games to see what the whole forum could, Rutter is a number 10 not a striker. It's cost us so many points this season.

Southampton dropping points is huge, as they were looking unstoppable. I expect Ipswich will pick up again soon, so unfortunately we haven't taken advantage of their slump.

Klaesson is better than Meslier and Darlow, he deserves a chance. Unfortunately Mes will waltz straight back in undeservedly.

Hopefully we don't put out a weak team v Posh, as we need to show more ambition in the cups.

Roberts played reasonably well, Dembele too. They were without Drameh today too. He may have given Firpo nightmares

Firpo's always been decent going forward, he just can't defend. Mind you, neither can TAA and he's "world class" supposedly.

He's not. Stoke beat Birmingham 3-0. 1 win in 15 games under Shrek. If we don't beat Cardiff, then nothing's changed.

I wonder if 64's doubter season ticket holder mates didn't go, what a shame that'd be.

Erm, follow it back. Didn't mention Birmingham
