Squad Analysis
With Blues scheduled to play friendlies against Cork City and Worcester City this weekend, I thought it might be worth having a look at the squad as it stands just to see exactly how thin it is and where I think we will have to strengthen if we’re to have a hope of doing well this season.

A heavy blow but not a fatal one
Normally, I’d do a write up of the previous match the day after, but having read many of the messageboards, I don’t think much more can be added. It was a dire result, a poor performance – particularly defensively – and it’s a worry that we can play so badly with a local derby coming up, especially considering our poor record in local derbies this season.

I thought I’d take a look at those eleven players in a bit more detail.

Cov
My reflections from the FA Cup tie against Coventry City FC: 1) We do like to do things the hard way I’m not sure if it’s our way of playing up to the new respect campaign, but I’m not a fan of us giving the opposition a two goal head start, and we seem to […]

Goalkeeper musings
It’s pleasing as a Blues fan to see Joe Hart credit us with his meteoric rise in fortune; from bench-warmer at Manchester City to England number one keeper in just over a year. Joe has been very quick to point out the good work that Dave Watson did with him last season, and how he […]
