Poor game somewhat spoilt by fussy ref but take a point from that every day

Typical first game of the season. Both sides cancelled each other out. Birmingham full of confidence and Ipswich in defensive mode. The game lacked quality but as a boxing match it was great. Even Stephens for both American owners. Intriguing TV watch. Both teams can do better.

We lacked composure and confidence on the ball until we went 1-0 down. Greaves was immense at the back and won the penalty following a good corner from Young. A good point from a poor performance. Well done Hirst for keeping his cool with the penalty. Thought the Birmingham players reaction was way over the top with Chaplin just because he kicked the ball into the crowd after then penalty had been scored.

Shocking performance. They wanted more and deserved their goal.

What’s happened to our midfield, go get Sam back asap as we lacked any control. Apparently we’ve got loads of cash so why are we signing low grade players, at this rate we’ll be back in L1 next year.

Knew it would get heated after the ref lost the game in the first 10mins. Poor game throughout. Johnson and Ogbene both poor, Davis' head wasn't there. Greaves was suspect early doors. Looking forward to Cajuste getting stuck in now

Clearly not a great performance, but Greaves a bright spot. My MOTM. Bad performance, great result.

I will call it a 1-1 win. We will play better, I am not sure Brum will. They were shattered last 10 mins, and each of their subs made them a bit worse. Our subs slotted in generally well, esp those not out of position! Given we started without our 2 first choice wingers, we did OK. Hostile atmosphere, a wee bit unnecessarily so, but loud. Until we shut them up!

It seemed very strange to bring Ali on as a right wing essentially, but I genuinely thought he changed the pace and energy. He seems to have really bulked up too!

Sky might wish to cancel all other engagements after shoddy evening from our wannabes
