Good point, hadn't noticed that. Robinson is a good replacement for Leo, has his own box of tricks, but as you say is a different player. He likes to drive through the middle, and didn't Archer love that by the way, but leaves a gap behind him. Just take off a CB and bring on Bragg who has performed in that position well so far.

Just back and that was a good win. Birmingham are a tidy side, but with a bit more compusure in front of goal Saints could have had 5 or more. Usual frailties at the back, that needs sorting, but that only really started in earnest when Aribo and Romeu were on. Manning (I don't do crosses) was suddenly exposed and it became keystone kops. I don't have too many issues with Stephens but he looked a bit lost today, almost not required. Wood and THB have found some form. Good time to bring in Quarshie now. Fellows was MoTM for me, amongst some stiff competition, and boy does Archer 'Villa boy' hate Birmingham. I've never seen him so energised, and good grief he's quick. He's so desperate for a goal he's lost a bit of compusure. I reckon once he scores, they'll be a goal rush. Aribo What's the point, Bragg is the way better option. Just pay him off and be done with it. Good day COYS

Fucking Brazil ..... again. Give us a break

Hard to see how they couldn't appoint him. Lets start positive, he isn't the worst we had. Annoyingly if he does well, and I really hope he does, he's going to be nicked by a German or Austrian team. Guess we need Spors to stay to stop that happening.

Totally agree on 2 CBs, enables an extra midfielder to take pressure off Manning. So bloody obvious. Problem is Edwards, Wellington, and Quarshie can be just as flaky and inconsistent. Desperately need some quality, just shuffling deck chairs at the moment.

I think we've all seen enough now to know their limitations. Problem is there are no alternatives at the moment. They better sort this out in January. Play offs or even autos are still in touch but not with this fragile squad .

Well I disagree on the 1st goal but that's just opinions. You'll get no disagreement from anyone that he needs replacing. With luck Ransdale will be sold to Newcastle in January and the club can upgrade that position.

Oh it's my turn is it, your bloody obsessed. You do nothing but attack him at every opportunity, and anybody who says anything about him. Three decent saves, and absolutely no chance on two of their goals. The third was a defensive shambles, he's as culpable as the other defenders, but the real blame for that lies with Romeu who lost his man. Is he a decent goalie, nope. Too much flapping and too error prone, but that defeat isn't down to him.

Subs killed that game, Romeu not really up to speed. Aribo a disaster. Conceded the midfield, very lucky to get to 2 2. Absolute worldy from their CB. Tonight Matthew I will be 'Roberto Carlos'. 4 4 2 at the end would have stopped their momentum. Wellington on for Robinson, Romeu for Stephens. It's so bloody obvious Bazunu kept us in that today , pretty much no chance on the goals.

Bollocks

Aribo has been a disaster substitute. Has done nothing but lose the ball or his man ... often both. Manning desperately needed support, he's had a tough match.

Ridiculous

Not closing down the man was the problem there. he had a free shot. Bazunu had no chance with that.

Credit to Millwall, they have really kept their shape and stifled our attacks, and have launched some pretty decent attacks of their own. You never get it all your own way in this league, big 2nd half coming up. Jander looks knackered, time for Romeu.

Not hard to see Millwall's tactics. Intense pressure on Manning and Robinson, keep the ball away from Fellows as much as possible Bragg and Jander having to work hard here
