The centre backs today


Pleased for them both, they did well generally. I think special mention should go to Triantis. Remember the lad is only 20 year old, come over from the other side of the world, thrown into his debut in front of 40,000 fans at 5 minutes notice. Good mental strength shown.
 
Personally I thought Seelt was solid most of game, was very obvious that Triantis was nervous but that’s ok, he was called upon at very short notice.

Seelt actually passed the ball pretty well, early days but I like him. 1st half they struggled but I thought 2nd half they played well and Birmingham barely had a sniff.

They will both be buzzing that we won the game and that they both got through it with crowd on their side.

Well done lads.

Seelt looks cultured and can clearly pass the ball. But he is slow.

They are two fairly similar centre half’s if you actually compare them to Ballard and O9. I’m not saying Seelt is as good as Ballard but I can see similarities in way they play, we are going to need him as season goes on, Ballard not capable of playing every game. Personally I think today proved that Seelt is capable of coming in and playing when needed!
 
It has potential but there's no way you can describe our squad as "strong". You know that though.
I think its a strong squad for the level. Which is why we will finish top 6 imo.

There isn't 6 better squads than ours. If you disagree then fair enough, I'm not really arsed. We have loads of talent and quality throughout.
It does mate. But most of the players haven't done anything to prove it is strong right now. The poster I quoted only said that so he can use it as ammunition against Mowbray.
Absolute nonsense. When Mowbray eventually leaves I will expect us to be challenging like I do now. Mowbray himself says the team can challenge.

Imagine spending your Saturday night being so paranoid about a stranger you invent a story.

We got away with it today,they are nowhere near 09 and Ballard.

We've got some players who can definitely be described as strong for this level. For the vast majority of them though there's no evidence to say that they are. They may be but you can't say that for sure right now.

And can you ever call a squad who lack central midfielders like we do "strong"? One injury and were knackered.

We won’t finish top 6 IMO. Not sure why you seem so confident about this. Just off top of my head I’d say Leicester, Ipswich, Leeds, Southampton absolutely nailed on to finish above us and then teams like West Brom, Boro etc below us. Will take good January window for us to finish top 6 IMO.

Mowbray has been asking for a defensive midfielder since Evans got injured, none of our midfield players look comfortable in that role.
