Game Ratings Kelvin Davies – 9/10 – At least 2 world class saves, looked unbeatable today, full of confidence and really enjoying his football, a complete contrast to the Davies we saw when he first moved to the club. Joseph Mills – 7/10 – Looked more comfortable than Lloyd James, over lapped well and offered an attacking option. Norwich had 2 very quick wingers & they used them often, Mills done the better job of keeping 1 of their wingers quieter than the other. Oli Lancashire – 8/10 – Looked very assured at the back despite 1 dip in concentration which lead to a fine save from Davies. Very impressed with him at the back and looked the more “experienced” head at the back despite playing next to Perry Chris Perry – 6.5/10 – Defended well but offered little in terms of distribution, held the line well. Lloyd James – 6.5/10 – Was troubled by a very good Norwich winger, seems to lack pace at times which results on him committing himself to early, does offer an option going forward and hopefully will improve. David McGoldrick – 8/10 – Deserved more than his 1 goal from the spot, really put it in today and if he was a little sharper would have grabbed a hatrick Adam Lallana – 9/10 – Started off slow but was running the game by the end of 2nd half, offers so much. Can take the pace out the game, can open doors, is always an option, his off the ball movement is top class, watch him pass then move and want the ball again to open teams up. Drew Surman – 8/10 – Despite him being an able left back, he looks so much better in midfield. Had a really good game today, covered soo much ground. Jack Cork – 7.5/10 – Played a superb Ancher roll today, linked the midfield & defence really well and again covered so much ground to allow Lallana the “free” roll Robertson – 8/10 – Started slow, but really came into the game and looks like a real capture. Reminded me of James Beattie at his best. Cracking finish for his goal and could have had another 2!! Pekhart – 5/10 – looked off colour, first touch was poor, not sure if he was injuryed or whether he was taken off because he was offering little up front. BWP – 7/10 – Played well, looked a threat, was a little isolated out on the wing at times but the effort was there. All in all, very very happy with the performance

He's down often, family still live in Eastleigh Shocking isnt it... the worest thing about the whole situation is I swear I saw someone wearing EXACTLEY the same around town for an 80s fancy dress night at the weekend...

He's always wanted to move back here. He told me we'd enquired at some point when Burley was in charge but couldnt afford him (whether that was wages or transfer fee I'm not sure) Wolves & Sheff Utd have been sniffing around for a while as well, even mention of Everton. Not at all surprised he's leaving Barnsley... hope he does well where ever he goes, I'll txt him to see if it is us, but seriously doubt it. A picture of me & Brian back in primary school... lol, before anyone claims that im just claiming to be ITK Brian on the left me on the right...

agreed OWTS saints for 20 minutes is better than complete silence

I wouldnt say he was out jumped, the difference was that the ipswich player had a good 20-30 yard run up on james who jumped from standing. To be fair, it was a cracking cross and a good header, probably the best goal of the game imho

Fantastic posts made minutes after the final whistle from users who weren’t even at the game & wouldn’t have even seen the performance!!! We are playing the right way, we are showing encouraging signs, we are playing football allot better than we did last season & the results will start to reflect that. Have some faith guys, get behind the team FFS, we don’t have ANY alternative... this IS the best we’ve got so let’s start seeing a more positive attitude to a well fought draw which means more points on the board and something to build on.

A little harsh. I will say that he does look like the weakest link in our team at the moment, he lacks pace and tireded early today. He will improve, he's had what... 5 or 6 senior games? Its a physical league, and as he gets older he'll learn to coup with it better. At the moment I think its a case of "best of a bad bunch"

was lucky not to have broken the QPR players leg, awful tackle, both feet left the ground, in a posistion where you certainly dont need to dive in. Inexperience on top of an awful tackle deserved to go for sure

Cant Believe some of the negativity in this thread!!! Unbelievable really, some I'm from those who weren't at the game! Anyway the game Dissapointing but by no means dissapointed. If Birmingham are the best the championship have to offer we will be fine. We are playing some exceptional football at times, so much better than last year.

I'm going so make it +1 to all your suggestions... actually no wait, i'm a ST holder so I'll already be counted wont I... So erm i'm saying 23000

I thought they'd changed it to the 2nd round this year? maybe wrong

Still No Rasiak?? Wright Phillips & Thomas to "sit this one out" hmmm

if we're top of the league come christmas, it wouldn't matter if we're a PLC or not... we'll all be talking about the football

ditto

Cheers for all the hardwork Admins :-)

I expect to see most of the players who didnt get a run out against West Ham to start
