Mark Rothko. Rubbish.

I believe that was 2003.

Their mentality / preparation has been awful.

I've had her. Average.

This. It was obvious he was going to cut inside Fellows and Downes could have stepped out quicker to help him. When he did come out, he turned his back side on and made himself smaller, instead of blocking the shot. Not a pile-on on Downes, who played well and set up a goal with a brilliant tackle, but that was a mistake he made.

Please don't drink to excess.

Ekert sets the team up from the off better than Still ever did, but I do worry about his seeming obsession with this shape. A tactical change has been obviously needed to close some of the wide spaces, as their only attacking plan is to get crosses in.

Aribo trying to get a Xmas break there.

Edwards for Fellows. Makes sense given the number of crosses coming in.

Aribo would split her in two.

Manning has had a shit 5 minutes. Do we have a sub left to put Welly on?

Got to get Bragg or Romeu on to bolster the mid, innit?

Comedy miss by Michael Fabricant.

Their keeper is having a bit of a Baz.

Get innnnnnn

I'd be tempted to put Bragg on for Azaz and just tighten it up for 15 mins.

Downes should have done better there. Gray would obviously come inside and he should have been closer to Fellows and not turned his back on it.

Fellows has a very high ceiling. Great first touch, comfortable under pressure, brilliant balance, good acceleration.

Good stuff with the ball, and pretty decent off it, aside from missing a couple of crosses. Other than set pieces, Birmingham don't seem to have much. Let's hope we get on the front foot after the break.

Best player in the EFL, surely?

It was on his weaker right hand side.

Ref letting cynical fouls go without a yellow.

Another great goal.

Spin and bounce, just didn't fall right.
