Just a thought, but could they bring the Chairgirls kick off forward to 18:00 and then promote it as a double bill?

Come and cheer on the Chairgirls before heading to the Vere Suite to watch the men take on Rotherham?

I'd go to that

I hope they do get more chances to play at AP. As you said, its a big shame their game in March clashes with a men's fixture, as it will probably have a big impact on people who would otherwise have made the effort to go.

The injury to Harvie was a massive low, had he been on the pitch it is likely that Simons wouldn’t have been making that cover tackle

I think I was in the cubicle next to you.

Sounded more like a hoover than a lawnmower.

Just seen the red (was in the loo at the time). Initially thought yellow, but replay showed a fair red I imo.

Shame it took us a while to get going, and the timing of the sending off was a real blow after we’d just been finding our feet.

Thought we played well 2nd half, and plenty of positives to take into two big games before Wrexham.

Great performance from Joe Low, and also thought Dan Udoh put in an impressive shift up front.

Wondering if there is a chance we might see 3 at the back and two up front again soon.

Really good atmosphere today, top notch tannoy man, plenty of Birmingham bands being aired and it’s always nice to hear a traditional sing song at the start of the game.

Thought we weren’t in it at all for 30 mins, Norris goes down and Dodds has a chat and we were in the game from there on in. Will be interesting to see that Simons challenge on the highlights, looked a bit rash and not entirely necessary to me, but from my vantage point it didn’t look a straight red, knew as soon as I saw the ref purposely striding his way that he was off though.

Udoh was excellent again and it was crying out for the King so not surprised other creative midfielders took a back seat, wasn't enough in the end but still top two and on we roll.

Yeah I was a bit surprised Humphries was subbed. Very poor in the 1st half, but came to life in the 2nd. That said, overall the 2nd half was a decent performance, so no complaints on the decisions made.

I'll walk back my "white flag" comments slightly as that second half was superb. We were the better team with 10 men but just didn't quite find that killer chance. In the first half we showed Birmingham far too much respect and it was only once we started to press harder that we looked like we could get something from the game.

I was surprised to see Humphreys taken off fairly early as he was making us tick at the start of the half, and really surprised that McCleary played a full 90 minutes. Thought he was exceptionally poor today for his standards.

Wrexham drawing makes that no disaster, but we really need two wins next week to set ourselves up for that game. No Harvie or Simons for the next few games will be a big test.
