Any other Blues fans reaching the end of their tether watching the tripe that Blues are serving up?
All season has just been so frustrating. We only seem to play well in half an hour spells, we never dominate a game for the full 90 minutes and we usually have to go a goal or 2 behind to start playing with any kind of urgency.
What do the team do in training?? They look like strangers who have never seen eachother before come a Saturday afternoon.
The usually reliable defence from last season looks like conceding whenever they come up against any kind of tricky or quick player. We are leaking all kinds of goals, goals that can be stopped with the right defending.
St Andrews used to be a stadium where teams didn't want to come and play. Now I bet they cant wait to turn up. Blues are so easy to play against this year and how people can defend them with some of the inept, brainless, toothless displays really needs their eyes tested.
Some of the players we have are just complete passengers. Why Clark has got a fascination with playing Wade Elliott wherever he can fit him in is beyond me. Clearly he is not a wide player as he has no pace to get away from a defender and always looks to come inside leaving the left side exposed. For the majority, he offers nothing. But he will play most games because he is one of Clarks favourites.
Another one of his favourites is Hayden Mullins. What does he bring to the team can anyone let me know please?? He is supposed to be a holding midfielder. It doesn't help that he cant pass a ball, has no pace, cant tackle and gives silly, dangerous free kicks away and offers absolutely nothing going forward yet he finds himself starting every single week, this decision baffles me. I wonder what the likes of Diop, Gomis, Ambrose and Fahey are thinking with Mullins starting instead of them ???
Blues need a takeover to happen ASAP and this horrible mess we find ourselves in needs sorting from top to bottom.
The players need to stand up and be counted and battle their way through this and find some consistency to give the fans and the whole place a lift.

Bluenoses- Saturdays game was a decent advert for the Championship.
You were a bit of a bogey side to us- but we seem to be felling those demons ths season against some of our bogey teams.
I actually thought you were ok and for me you payed in three separate units i.e defence not linked to midfield who were not linked to the forwards.
Lovenkrands goal was class. Zigic I am afraid looks like he is there to collect his money. He shoukd be terrorising defences.
The young lad Hall certainly looks a decent payer- hopefully you can extend the loan.
One other observation - there didn' t seem much team spirit. This should be driven by your captain exacting your managers wishes.
One thing the Rams now have is an 'all for one' spirit in what is a very young side.
On the brightside, you wont go down,but you have got to get the mentality sorted.
Lee Cark - I rated him at Huddersfield.At the Blues, you have gone a step or two backwards.

Its just a follow on from the end of last season ,when we became second half wonders , only this season we are leaking goals in the first half , you must remember us getting booed off at half time, quite a few times last season , and how many times did we score goals in the last minute,to send us home happy ,

I'm sick and tired of coming out of a game more frustrated and mentally tired than an 18 hour shift on a bank holiday in a bar full of absolute t w a ts!
It is like watching us under Mcleish where a 1-0 win feels like you've just lost 5-0. It's strange we seem to be creating chances according to stats but I can't remember feeling like we had plenty of chances in any game this season.
Last season we weren't terrific but we got results league position proved that. Lee Clark has lost the majority of fans because of home form, he seems to struggle when he has to attack teams rather than play away keep it tight and nick one I think Leeds away is the type of performance he wants from the team.
The players aren't free from blame absolute useless especially at the back what has happened to Caldwell he's like a slug with bricks tied to his feet! He needs to be dropped packwood would be more use there!
We can't rant about Clark all we want but sadly he ain't gonna be sacked!

I agree Caldwell has been a shadow of lasts seasons player. His legs are looking very aged and is always getting outpaced and never dominant in the air. But lets face it, he's captain and wont be dropped for Packwood or Ibanez.
The sooner Caddis is back the better, we seriously miss having a proper right back playing and think Burke will be better for it too.

Saturdays game was a decent advert for Derby that's for sure, not us though.
Lovenkrands's goal was pretty good but too few and far between for which we have LC to thank in that regard.
Zigic doesn't seem to fit in with our way of playing [or not playing as the case may be] but I can't blame him entirely because it is the same throughout the whole team.
In some ways it is depressing having the likes of Hall on loan because it shows you what a keen/skilfull player can actually do, but i thought we already had that in Redmond?
I totally agree with your observation about our team [lacking] spirit which is evident in bucket loads when looking at Derby so if we could get the same 'all for one' spirit things could happen, but this is part of the problem in that LC is not an NC.
At the start of our season it would have been difficult for anyone other than a Huddersfield fan not to have rated LC with his record, but unfortunately he has not come anywhere near putting together or inspiring what he already has, a team capable of doing much else other than possibly avoiding a relegation scrap.
And at the current rate the jury is out on that one.
I dare say Derby will be there or thereabouts at the end of the season so best of luck there, but to think we should be doing the same [especially after last season's performance] but aren't, courtesy of LC is galling.
