Really really poor, on that performance we'll be nowhere near 22:01 - Aug 8 with 1543 views | Woolfenthen | credit to Brum they were very good, but my god we were poor, no-one really came out of that game with any credit. Yes some you can make excuses for, i.e. Ogbene, Szmodics back from long term injuries and Matusiwa making his debut in English football but the likes of Jack Clarke, Ben Johnson and Jack Taylor really need to have a think about that, they were dreadful. Hopefully a one off, but we need to be much much better than that, why has recruitment been left so late, I just don't really understand it. 1-1 take it all day long, very happy, very very lucky but we're not usually the ones who get a dodgy decision, onwards and upwards coyb |  | | |  |

The situation is they didn't need to be. Their manager has got a lot of work to do with their temperment when things don't go their way. |  |

They also run themselves into the ground 2/3 struggling with cramp on about 85 mins , they were desperate to win that game . |  | |  |

Was always going to be cagey and intense, we have a lot of players out. Looking at that squad tonight you’d think where on earth did that circa £120m we spent last season go.. need to get a LOT of players in the door in the next few weeks. |  | |  |

I thought we’d lose tonight mainly because early season is a great leveller they’ve lots of confidence and we are still licking our wounds. I’ll take the point and hopefully this is the little nudge to get momentum going. The Champ is so tight that Brum have it in them to be up there. What I question is when they don’t get things their own way and say go a few winless games how will Wagner handle it and as you say Davies too. Good point but much more to come from us. |  | |  |
Really really poor, on that performance we'll be nowhere near on 22:29 - Aug 8 with 800 views | dirtyboy | Thought their energy was brilliant and they deserved the win. We missed Morsy didn’t we? Just someone who’d take the ball in a tight area, take pressure off, Matusiwa really had a baptism of fire, he’ll improve though. Cajuste can’t get into this team quick enough for me. I don’t like slating players, but Johnson was really poor. Sorry but just no composure, looks frightened to pass to a team mate near him, no bravery. Ogbene didn’t do a lot wrong but wasn’t really sharp enough either, but that’ll come. |  | |  |

Who was Johnson mouthing off at as he came off the pitch? |  |

I wouldn't go as far as very very good, they worked hard and were reasonably solid defensively They're not overly adventurous with neither full backs overlapping, most of their good play came from Kyogo making a nuisance of himself |  |

Our right hand side was absolute dross. Ogbene clearly miles off being fully fit and Johnson just isn’t a very good footballer. |  | |  |

They really weren't. It was their big night out and they huffed and puffed and were niggly but TBH if that's the top of their game, they're in for a mid-table finish. We were poor but improved, they got worse as the game went on. Happy with a point at St Andrews, it's never an easy place to go. |  |

Really really poor, on that performance we'll be nowhere near on 22:43 - Aug 8 with 606 views | Nthsuffolkblue | It was a battle that was hard fought and neither side created much. A point away at Brum especially on opening day is a decent result. We only really got going once they were ahead and we were able to finish stronger than them. I think Clarke needs to play on the right which leaves Ogbene as a finisher unless he can play left. Dreadful is an exageration. |  |

Really really poor, on that performance we'll be nowhere near on 23:19 - Aug 8 with 461 views | longtimefan | I’ve always held the view that at the start of the season you want to avoid the promoted teams and play the relegated ones. The promoted teams usually overachieve for the first third or so of the season and the relegated ones tend to underachieve. Today’s matchup was probably perfect for Birmingham and one we would much rather have had later in the season. [Post edited 8 Aug 23:20]

They only looked good in their cup final, because we were so bad. They will not be challenging for promotion. |  | |  |
