You've got to be pleased with the first points in the bag and it will be interesting to hear how we played.
I couldn't get the game on radio anywhere except the very odd mention and Sky Sports had technical problems and couldn't report either.
So all I know is we won 1-0 and Fahey scored.
1st Points on the board.

Following on from that point ED why can't the TV cameras have one in line with each goal? Not for goal line technology which is long overdue, but for things like this. More of a solid talking point if anything.
I saw the highlights last night and was 99% sure Myhill kept the ball in front of the post.

I agree goal line technology is way overdue, and the dinosaurs at FIFA & the FA are again found wanting.
I saw the incident differently and thought is was evry close when Myhill corrected his stance, I think he may have taken the ball over, but impossible to see from the angles as you said.

My opinion for what its worth.
Could have been behind first half but cov are pants in front of goal.
2nd half big imrovement and we got the all important goal. Even though first half was not that good you could still see the CH vision of trying to play football and be creative and attacking, that bodes well.
There was no booing whatsoever from Tilton block 11 and nor should there have been from anywhere else.!!!
No more Mcjudas negativity. There is a light at the end of the tunnell and when we have more striking options I am hopeful that we will move in the right direction.

Beausajour did not look that interested maybe he is unsettled and not happy.
Mutch is going to be a good player for us, Gomis has good vision.
I think we lacked a Striker who can get goals, Rooney may had been prolific in the SPL but 50% of the teams in that League are not even League 1 standard.
He is however a clever hard working player, its a pitty that when we had Garry O'Connor that he never had Rooneys extra yard of pace and mobility as well as staminia.
I think Rooney will improve but we cant put all our hopes on him gettting the goals.
I think we should be looking at trying to get SEB off Wolves on loan even if till January but i do fear that in order to do that we first have to see Zigic and Jerome leave as we dont have cash for any loan fees.

Its just a damn shame we never showed McLeish the Door Xmass and brought in Hughton back then, we would have stayed up i recon
Mind you even then that would not have helped the mess Yeung has put the club into.

Banjokid if we had stayed up by hook or by crook we would still be in a mess but a less messy mess.
You know yourself the finances would have been easier to manage with Premier money being thrown at the club instead of the scraps we get now.
I think many are writing Birmingham off too easily. The season is just two games old and the old moaners come out complaining and even booing after a win.
Honestly some people are so short sighted and very impatient.

Agreed the Prem Income would have kept the banks more happy
I was on about at some point we would have came unstuck.
If we was in the Prem, then we would have maybe not been forced to sell for cheap, we would have maybe had no cash to spend but we could have kept a side that would have had a good chance of staying up.
Also if we was a Prem Club then other would be investors would be more willing to invest into the club or buy Yeung out.

Banjokid. Reading back my last post it sounded like the whole thing was aimed at you. It wasn't.
Your point about further investment. I think it will happen. If I had loads a money to buy loads a shares I would wait until after the Yeung issue was decided. Guilty or innocent I would wait. Then there would be a clear path to go down.
As of today the waters are very messy and need to settle first.

Well Hughton has his hands tied a little.
And a 4,5,1 can work if used right.
I am sure had we had a fully fit sqaud we would have seen Jerome and King Starting in a 4,4,2
