Is this a football venue or a 90 minute restaurant? Sit down and watch the game FFS. Amazing how some people can't go an hour and a half without eating a pie.
As for the game - thought we were lucky to win, but that's a sign of true champions; the ability to pick up three points without necessarily playing very well. In the first half I thought we lost the midfield battle - Tom Carroll looked lightweight and I felt we missed the resilience of Karl Henry. Zamora put in a slightly improved display but he was still not offering any movement whatsoever up front. In the second half, we looked a lot better when we shifted to a 4-5-1 formation. Birmingham couldn't penetrate our defence, which was very solid after the break. MOTM for me was Austin - showed a lot of effort, really got stuck in and demonstrated a lot of bravery for the goal.
