Forest 1:1 Brum
Again, no knee jerk reaction from me, leaving it nearly a week to comment on the latest Tricky Tree performance.
And what a good performance it was too. Brum probably had the better of the first 20 minutes, but after that it was pretty much all one way traffic.
The only difference in the first half was a class player, McFadden, and to be honest he clearly doesn't want to poncing about in the second division anymore. But the same could be said for most of the Birmingham players, seemingly intent on late-tackling, diving and arguing their way into the referees book to book their early baths.
It's probably too early in proceedings to say whether the poor start to the season will cost us at the end, but I feel if we carry on playing like that every week, we'll be more than fine in this league.
The problem will come when we lose again and the fans will be on the players, and manager's, backs and how we respond.
5 points from Palace & Derby away and Brum at home is certainly more than I thought we'd get, and probably more than we'd have taken at the start of the season if offered.
But the next ten games up until the New Year are all important. Doncaster twice, Barnsley at home, Norwich twice and Blackpool at home are all games we should be winning in our current form, so 18 - 20 points over that ten game period is what we should be aiming for.
Anything significantly less than that and we'll be struggling again.
