Thoughts On The Blues with Simon Brew | An independent Birmingham City podcast

Ah, here we go again. In the latest Thoughts On The Blues, Simon considers #BristolCity vs #BirminghamCity in the #eflchampionship. Or, basically, #BCFC vs #BCFC.

Bristol City has been a pretty decent stomping ground for #Blues over the year, but this time? No dice. A lot of possesion, but no goal, no points, and a defeat. Where does this leave us? Will #Kyogo ever score? Will the new signings ever click? And where does this leave #ChrisDavies?

No definitive answers here. But lots of chat, a bit of wine, and much appreciation to everyone who's liking and subscribing!

#BirminghamCity had one win in eight games going into a tricky away game at #PrestonNorthEnd. A midweek #eflchampionship fixture against a team who hadn't lost at home all season. Coming off the back of Saturday's defeat against #HullCity, clouds were gathering above #BCFC and #ChrisDavies.

In this latest episode of Thoughts On The Blues, recorded in sunny #Halesowen, a few thoughts on a battling win, another referee performance, the reappearance of Phil Neumann, and increased hopes that my car won't get nicked...

At a packed St Andrews, #BirminghamCity came up against #HullCity as the #EFL international break ended. Could #Blues end their growing wait for a win and protect their unbeaten record? Spoiler: no.

Instead, in this episode of Thoughts On The Blues, Simon is left pondering the person who won the 'Referee for a day' competition. He's wondering what #PhilNeumann needs to do to be picked in a #ChrisDavies side. He's trying to work out how #BCFC came a cropper against #HCFC. And he's sitting in #Halesowen muddling it all out....

And so on a windy Friday night, the #HollywoodDerby returned to the #EFL. #BirminghamCity took on #Wrexham in a match that's turned into an odd modern rivalry. But for #BCFC fans, there were big questions. Would #ChrisDavies shuffle the pack? Would we have shots on target? Who would play in defence? And would we look like the team that played #Ipswich again?

The answers? Well, Simon - recorded from the glamour of Hollywood - gets into all of that. And also asks the question: why didn't Tommy Doyle make the starting line-up?

It was all going so well. In under ten minutes, #BirminghamCity were a goal up against #SheffieldWednesday thanks to a fine #jaystansfield hit. But by half time, the wheels had started to come off, and the #BCFC crowd was beginning to turn.

In this latest episode of Thoughts On The Blues, Simon - hiding away in Halesowen - reflects on a difficult night at St Andrews, how Blues struggled against #SWFC, and the questions being asked of Chris Davies ahead of a testing away game at #Wrexham.

Whoever said the #EFL was boring....!?

It was a grim Saturday lunchtime in Coventry, as #CCFC smashed #BCFC by three goals to nil. #TheBlues didn't muster a shot on target (again), and question marks are appearing over the once rock-solid defence. Is this a blip? Are we overreacting? Are we still in a good place? And why are fans asking questions about Chris Davies?

Recording from the glamour of, er, #Halesowen, here's some more Thoughts On The Blues.

What a difference a week makes. In the latest Thoughts On The Blues, we take a look at what happened when #BCFC met #swansea_city in the #EFL, and how we started having shots, and how lots of them ended up on target as well.

Plus, thoughts on #LewisKoumas, #tomokiiwata, the gelling of new signings, and - of course - big Lyndon Dykes and his second injury time winner of the season. Not bad, for a player who was all set to go to #Hibernian in the transfer window.

The golden rule of going to play an away game at #StokeCity? Don't concede early, else you're in for a very long afternoon. That's just what #BirminghamCity did in their latest #EFL game, and with no shots on target (again) and with the team sitting mid-table, should we be happy? Should we be grumbling? Should we be expecting a shorter documentary next year if it carries on like this?

Recorded in, er, sunny #Halesowen, this is the latest from #SimonBrew on the highs and lows of #BCFC.

Games covered: #PortVale vs #BCFC, #LCFC vs #BCFC, the referee vs using a red card.

----

A week, as it turns out, is a long time in Birmingham City (or #BirminghamCity, to keep the hashtag police happy).

A week that started with optimism for #BCFC, and ended with a Carabao Cup defeat to #PortVale and then - live on Sky! - a 2-0 reverse against #LeicesterCity. That optimism is turning to chins being stroked and questions being asked. We got used to winning last season! Now, Chris Davies has - for the first time - lost two in a row. And with no goals scored.

The talking points? Well, apart from wondering what constitutes a red card tackle, this episode goes into the lack of goals, the expectations level, what's realistic, reality checks, should we really be panicking? And also, what have some fans got against Paik?

All recorded from, er, the comfort of #Halesowen...

Right then! For the latest #BirminghamCity video, the week when we played #OxfordUnited #OUFC and #PortVale #PVFC at home. A bustling St Andrews, terrible car parking, a new winger, the return of #GaryRowett, a chance to head to the top six of the #EFL Championship - and a home cup game to League One #PortVale too!

Here are my thoughts, for what they're worth. A return for the #Blues I know and love! Recorded in #Halesowen, it's Thoughts On The Blues...
