Quite so, but I’d like to see a bit of effort.

But we all wanted them.
Still the right decision even if we end up losing the game.

I would really rather not pull a Wigan.

Yup and Birmingham are the settled side. It's not like we have a jam packed schedule, we only need a couple of changes.

Seen a fair bit of Championship football this season and the quality in general has been higher than last season, Birmingham are a mid table Championship team

I do think Bijol is suspect defensively, he's not in Rodon or Struijk's class. Got pushed out too easily there..

Poor first touch from Buonanotte
