Keep the faith 22:03 - Aug 8 with 496 views | bsw72 | Our worst performance for maybe 2-3 years, yet get a draw away at the 3rd favourites who are unbeaten at home for over a year, and who only conceded 11 goals at home last season. I firmly believe we can’t play that badly again. Not ideal, but let’s take it. |  | | |  |

Keep the faith on 22:26 - Aug 8 with 369 views | stonojnr | Really 2-3 years? remember Cardiff away was pretty bad, Charlton away was pretty bad. West Ham was pretty bad. People need to reset their expectations we aren't going to walk the league with 100points and 100 goals. It's going to be tough, all the Brum fans in the pub i was in were cock ahoop they were in their eyes beating a Premier League team, like they were schooling a Man Utd or Liverpool. Lots of our games are going to be like this. We need to be in the mindset average 2pts per game, draw away, win at home, that's the promotion party route and there will be blips along the way An away point at Brum, who we have always struggled playing at St Andrews, is a good result. Come May no on will care how we got the point, the only thing that counts is its 1pt Back the last time we got relegated from the Prem we won our first away game to Walsall 2-0 and beat Leicester 6-1 at home, happy days right 6pts from 2 games, the manager was sacked by the 2nd week of October with us in 19th. We didnt get promoted from any league for another 20 years Perspective helps, keep the faith, up the town |  | |  |

I remember being in the North Stand that day and singing "We're going up as f****** champions!" Oh how wrong we were. Although I treasure the memories of Pablo Counago's two goals that day as he finally broke his goalscoring duck! |  | |  |

Thought Matusiwa got a lot of blocks/interceptions in, I have no worries about him. |  | |  |

Thought our back 5 looked pretty solid, which bodes well for the season |  |
