Rooneys first game in charge, what did the fans think of todays game?
Didn’t expect much and we didn’t get much. Not sure about ‘no fear’ that looked like ‘all panic’ football. Ruddy MOTM
That was very hard to watch. Felt like we were trapped in our own half the entire match. Sunjic I guess was my MOTM, he was the only one putting pressure and winning tackles. Think we lost our defensive edge when we took him off. Still only one match in under Rooney, can’t be going after him just yet. Long way home from Boro….
Didn’t think we’d get much up there to be honest, Wednesday is a big match for Rooney.
We fear who we want, we fear who we want, we’re Birmingham City, we fear who we want!
Ruddy was MOTM for me… It could’ve been 4 or 5- nil without him
The first person Rooney wanted to replace was Ruddy and he just saved us from a trouncing, mmmm…….
When he clearly undoes everything that has been achieved in just 1 game..wrong formation..wrong team selection..wrong tactics ..errrrmmmm
First game..but that was worrying. A 3-man midfield with Sunjic playing right-side & Gardner left, leaving Bielik with no legs around him and Boro played through far too many times. Early days but I don’t think most of these can play a passing-style. Looked like square pegs in round holes out there.
Ruddy motm. Formation was wrong, lacked creativity. Hogan no. Weird subs but least he made them. They are a good team but if they finished their chances we would have lost by far more. Rooney saying about full backs but as they r so high they left HUGE gaps. Gardner and sunjic having to cover the ground to try and cover them. Stick to 4-2-3-1 then the likes of Dembele will be able to play in their usual position out wide. 6 hour round trip 👍 let’s hope we can get a result on Wed!
Feels like the progress we saw, simply with correct formation, better width and starting eleven in the last two matches has been undone for the sake of it, as new managers are inclined to do; today’s performance and result the consequence. Bringing an out of form striker into the position of an in form striker, playing a key midfielder out of position, imposing a style which leaves us exposed at the back and subbing Dembele and Stansfield our greatest attacking outlets when Miyoshi left out of the starting eleven. Would prefer to see Rooney build on Eustace’s progress, not undo it just for the sake of putting ‘his on stamp on us’. The ‘No Fear’ strapline, if it means front foot and higher press could really undo us this season. I read Rooney’s post-match comment, ‘There’s an awful lot of work to do’. I think this is both an exaggeration and an insult to what Eustace achieved. If he means this in terms of getting promotion this season, fair enough, but it doesn’t seem the expectation on Rooney is to achieve that this season. Early days for Wayne Rooney, but his line-up and formation cost us today.
Bring on January and get rid of the dead wood. Ruddy man of the match

So much for picking a team with pace and energy, Gardner??? my Granny is quicker than him.Lost the game in a non existent midfield,not the most creative are Bielik,Sunjic and Gardner,a really bad decision in his first game,very disappointed.
Look all I’m saying is if your telling us you want to play attractive, fast, no fear football from the back you start Dembele, Jordan, Bacuna, Miyoshi across the middle, Sunjic or Bielek behind with Stansfield up front, to be fair id be happy with Juke and Stansfield upfront with 2 attacking wingers there are so many permutations. Todays selection was not it ! To be honest I’d of kept the winning side he took over until it lost ! At least you can work on what you want for a few weeks in the background ! And is it a coincidence that Donovan is included all of a sudden when he is the only American player we have ? Now I’m not bothered because the guy is class ! I’m all for using the youth set up
I’m fed up of watching managers play the wrong side. We have so much talent and strength even with the current injuries ! Sunjic out in a wider position is ruining the man’s natural game ! Now I know Hogan isn’t having the best time, been poor in fact ! But when the guy plays nobody can find him ! He makes run after run and nobody can find the bloke ! When they put Bacuna behind hogan for 3 games last season every game Bacuna assisted hogan with a goal in every game ! How anybody can say we’re going for attractive football when you got the best 2 creative players in the squad on the bench ?? We got a defender that’s supposedly amazing, can’t believe we signed him in Aiwu who ain’t got a game yet ?
But that said Boro ain’t daft, was a last minute winner and we had chances that’s footy
God help us if Wayne thinks this is a formate with pace .Midfield ain’t got any centre forward who runs round like a headless chicken we have got to get a goal scorer.
Hogan ? Gardner ? I realise Bacuna had got back friday but must be Waynes first lesson , we will never score goals with Hogan . Also Gardner in place of Myoshi ? Sometimes and i know it sounds obvious but get the ball in the box get someone who knows where the net is and you might just score ! Stansfield the main striker ,Dembele one side Bacuna the other full backs bombing on .
I’m shit at footy, but if you put me upfront with Miyoshi and Bacuna behind me I’m gonna get a chance ! Stansfield got to be the main striker ! Has to be ! It makes no sense him not being the main striker, Fast, and quick ! There is a difference between them. Quick being more reaction based, beating the last defender to the ball by being quicker than the cunt ! Fast being flat out sprint. Miyoshi and bacca would pick him out for fun ! All game, we gonna get more dangerous free Kicks, penalty’s allowing to add pressure or diffuse it dependant on the situation ! Attack is the best form of Defence, but we’re not even playing our best attacking players in their best positions ! Maybe start there 👍🏻
Gardner 31,Hogan 31,Dembele 27 and Rooney believes in youth mmm
We need Laird,Hall,Dixon,Donovan,Buchanan and Myioshi starting asap
We are 0-0 away from home with two minutes to go. Why were most of our team upfield when Boro scored?
We have to park the bus and take the draw.
Naive manager.
it’s only he’s first game and he’s undone what je done why didn’t he keep the same side as last 2games hope he gets good reception at home next week and pse don’t play hogan
Back Rooney because he is now our manager, i think he’s having a look at the squad then he knows what he’s working with . In my opinion Hogan , Juke, Gardner will be first out of the door in january . Today was about usual for us this season, rode our luck in most games outplayed possession wise in most games and prone to make silly mistakes defensively . We do not take our chances although with the new coaches these failings should be eradicated. Get Buchanon back Laird fighting Dromeh for the right back position i reckon we should be ok KRO
