Why does this happen?

[ToffeeDan]

We can blame players. We can curse and moan but it won't change until we understand what causes us to collapse.

Is it being spineless?

Is it bad luck?

Why can't we do it to other teams?

But until the club deal with this there will be no changes. No big match wins - no semi or final wins against the RS since 1906. No wins at big side's grounds and maybe another twenty years without a win at The Pit.

And more last minute collapses at Leicester, Liverpool, City LC semis,

And more so called heroic failure against Villarreal, Fiorentina.. collapses at Millwall, West Ham (FA Cup)... Man U semi heartache, embarrassing Cup exit at Liverpool, Bristol Rovers, Brentford, Panathinaikos, Oldham.... And on and on.

And we deserve answers.

Because we are f******* crap.

No... Because if we were we wouldn't get close to throwing it away. This is a matter of being spineless

Well we will always be like this...

 

[NewRadical]

Weak mentality. It runs throughout the club. It sadly won't change in a short space of time.

But, we seem to have investors who will back a manager who knows about winning at the highest level. Hopefully we're on the right track.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Don’t worry, Graeme Sharp is now the Club’s Player’s Life President, he will advise the board on how to fix this

 

[jamieni]

It’s psychological. Look at the RS. They have gone from perennial chokers in the league to serial winners. Hopefully having a winner as a manager and a large clear out will help.

 

[ToffeeDan]

Just 16 days since Lower Breck Road Kindergarten knocked us out the FA Cup... what can I say..

 

[PDAWG]

Because we have crap players

'I went and took a leak on all four corner flags' THAT Barry Fry story

Was there a curse? How did Blues try to lift it? Did they succeed?

www.birminghammail.co.uk

“I am not normally superstitious but after three months I was willing to try anything so I went and took a leak on all four corner flags. It took me a while - it’s not that easy.

“Lo and behold, we went on to win seven of our next 10 games, drawing twice and losing just once, so it must have worked.”

How do we get close? Surely third round cup exits (the first round of entry) in consecutive years is the complete opposite of getting close? We have a semi final in a domestic cup every few years, but that’s about as close as we get. That’s the definition of an average, mid table premier league side. We’re just making up the numbers at the moment.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Because we have poor players and an ingrained acceptance of failure due to 20 odd years of spinning failure as success.

We've only got the plucky losers tag because we've been happy to embrace it.

Looks like you've answered your own question mate. Best to just try and forget about it and try not to let it bother you. There's not much you can do mate. Just have to take it on the chin and wait for the next disappointment. Enjoy your life inbetween

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Because clowns like Niasse and Davies can make mistake after mistake yet still be guaranteed a game.

Because Delph can scrap with fans online then get in the team week in week out.

Because Pickford can cock about and have absolutely no competition for his place.

It all ultimately comes down to recruitment and management and we have been pee poor on both fronts for years now.

Chickens coming home to roost.

the fans thru incessant pressure on their own players their compromising of young players and anxious fatalism that cascades onto the field and players.
