So we have Adomah at right wing back in place of Drewe and Amos replaces Dozzell.
Really hope Amos can prove himself again today, he's had such a frustrating season.
Johansen must be out of favour or still (yes, still) carrying a knock. Can't see any other reason why he's not started any of the 3 matches this week.
I understand the logic of not exposing Drewe to another bad match in a row, and Adomah has proven himself a good RWB in the past. It seems Dozzell has been identified as one of the reasons for our poor performance midweek, but what is it with Johansen? If he is still carrying a knock or long-term injury we do need Amos or Dozzell to step up - not just in the short-term but long-term too.

1-0 down already.
Absolutely horrific defending again. Adomah dived in and missed the ball and left us totally exposed. Then a simple cut back is slotted home. God knows what any of the other defenders were doing, it seemed very basic and easy to read what we needed to do to stop/block/clear the cut back.

Birmingham should and could be out of sight.
We aren't creating anything at all, they have had almost all the territory and all the chances. Dieng called into action frequently and only a last ditch tackle from Ireogbunam stopped what looked a certain 2nd.
Chong is running the show, the best player on the pitch by some distance.
To add to our woes, Kakay is limping even after treatment. I suspect he will have to be replaced by Drewe.... Not injured but ineffective, I would expect Martin to be replaced by Sinclair and Amos by Johansen. Neither has bathed themselves in glory.
