To be fair we’re actually playing ok. Just two absolute shockers.

Any team is done for without a reliable keeper that his defenders have faith in.

Copy and paste every game since start of the season, it can't carry on. Also if Howes isn't in contention at this point get rid of him too as if the reserve keeper isn't a shoe-in now he won't ever play in the league.

Yes, if Howes don’t get a game now then he never will
Hemming must go, I would take him off now & never play him again

Name them & Pay for em
If I knew names I'd be working as a scout not an IT guy :lol:
As for budget, it was there last season so where's the money gone?
Ask Nigel.
If you're only an IT guy how do you know it's a
gk cdm & lb that is required?

If you know what we supposedly need being an IT guy then you should know who they are & as for the budget,
Ask Nigel Travis or Kent Teague, why aren't you banging down the doors with them so they can give you the answers You need.

Seems a bit lazy of you leaving it to others

Played alright and dangerous going forward without really troubling the keeper outside of the goal. But after giving them two goals we are somehow still in it. Need to up the level second half.

HT sounds like we've not laid down and let them dominate us. Nothing much for Kelman at the moment and final third seems to be where we're lacking some quality.

We must send Hemming back. We will never win again with him in goal. He makes so many mistakes we would have to score four goals a game to be sure of getting a draw.

The club must just accept they've made a mistake. we need to get somebody else in the last week of the window otherwise we are doomed this season.

Send him back asap

If he drops Hemming then his loan spell is over. He is here to play games.

Hope Howes get a chance in the 2nd half, but doubt it will happen ?

No draught beer available in the Gallery 2nd game of season, impressive achievement, we are no better off the pitch. Probably Devlin monetising the fact that bottled beer is more profitable than draught

GK,CDM,LB is what you have stated for months now.
As someone in IT who claims he can't name the people who should come in, why should anyone listen to your opinion on what is needed?

For the exact same reason any of us including the Orient Live presenters discuss football. Already at the "are you a football manager" trope and it's only half time

Forget about the size of Birmingham and their budget, any team in League One would have scored with those two gifted goals . We’re literally handing the opposition these cheap goals. Hemming has to go . I was willing to give him a chance but it’s now game after game after game . It’s unsustainable. This week will need to send Hemming back and find a new keeper and LB on loan . Playing like this we’re getting relegated this season. Honestly we’re awful at the back and it’s undermining our attacking players who are playing OK.

I don’t disagree but I think if he drops him he’s gone.
