Birmingham City v Swansea City: Matchday Thread 2021/22 ÀFTERMATH 09:38 - Oct 21 with 13720 viewsNotLoyal

Swansea City are on a roll, scoring goals and entertaining the fans. This Saturday the swans travel to Birmingham. Its not in the north, it’s in the midlands, where Baz lives.








Away Fans Guide
It is best to drink in the city centre and get a taxi to the ground (about £9). If you are walking to the ground from the city centre, then you may care to stop at the Anchor Pub on Bradford Street, renowned for its range of real ales on offer. Although there are a number of Blues fans that frequent the pub they tend to be of the CAMRA bearded variety and therefore as long as you don't turn up mobbed handed, you should be okay. The pub is situated just behind Birmingham Coach Station. Going on further towards the ground then you are likely to pass the Old Crown, on Digbeth High Street, which apart from being Birmingham's oldest building, is also a pub which normally allows in away fans. Also in the same area is the DigBrew Company who are based on River Street (B5 5SA) and are open on Saturdays from 12noon. This brewery which is located in an old industrial unit has a bar inside and is welcoming to visiting supporters. Although basic inside, the beer (both real ale and craft) is good and the brewery is around a 15 minute walk away from the visitor's turnstiles (going in the general direction of the city centre)

If you coming by train, or decide to drink in the city centre beforehand, then if you like your real ale, then you can't do much better than visiting the Wellington Pub on Bennetts Hill. With 16 real ales on tap, including 12 guest ales, this is somewhat of a mecca for real ale drinkers. Also on Bennetts Hill, there is the 'Sun On The Hill' pub, which also shows televised sports and there is a Wetherspoons Pub called the Briar Rose, which normally admits visiting fans as long as no colours are shown. The Wellington does not provide food but has no objections to you bringing in your own. There are a couple of taxi ranks nearby that you can use if you wish to get you to the St Andrews ground. You can get more info on the Wellington pub website, including a live 'beer board' showing which ales they are currently serving. Just outside the main entrance to Birmingham New Street Station, is the Shakespeare pub, which is also popular with visiting supporters (normally under the watchful eye of the local Constabulary). Frequented not only those on their way to St Andrews but those on their way to the Hawthorns, as West Brom normally play their Saturday home games on the same day as Birmingham City. Alcohol is normally made available to away fans inside the ground in the form of John Smith’s Bitter or Fosters Lager (£3.80 per pint), as well as Bottles of Bulmers Cider (£3.60) and Wine (£3.90). However, for certain high profile fixtures, the Club opts not to sell any to away fans.


Official ticket news : Further tickets have been made available for Saturday’s Championship clash against Birmingham City at St Andrew’s (3pm). The Jack Army sold their initial allocation of 1500, with extra tickets now available on general sale. The Swans are going in search of a third straight win and are sure to have a strong away contingent cheering on Russell Martin and his players.


Olivier Ntcham looking to start the game against Birmingham City today 23rd Oct 2021 08:32
We had news this morning that Flynn Downes is still carrying a knock from the West Brom game on Wednesday evening, but is determined to get himself fit for today’s game against Birmingham City. Tests yesterday concluded he isn’t one hundred per cent, but may improve with a further twenty four hours rest. 0

The team sheets are in from both managers and these are the numbers for today’s game at St Andrews. 0




Swansea get the Chong idea and lose 2-1 at Birmingham City 23rd Oct 2021 17:42
Tahith Chong earned a clear man of the match award at St Andrews this afternoon, despite the swans aiding the blues cause with as many misplaced passes than they have made in any game this season. Possibly in the last five at least. It wasn’t despite the swans efforts it was because of their efforts this game was lost. And it wasn’t pretty. 0



Nothing more to follow.

Giving the ball away all over the field.


A corner to us and 6 or 7 aimless passes later we end up passing it back to our keeper. Sums up this performance. We’re beating ourselves.

At this rate we could play another 2 hours and not score, we haven't even come close.

Martin seems forlorn, bizarrely unsure of himself and his ego.

He needs to make a change right now. Outsmarted, outgunned.

He needs to resort to effective possession in the right places. Get a grip.

It would be interesting to hear right now from the unthinking happy clappers.

What should Martin do to turn this around. ?

Plan A-
Plan A--

Or Plan B which will work ?


B'ham currently have 12-3 shots ; 3-0 shots on target with only 27% possession (in the right places).

I must say these SwansTV commentators are getting on my tit harping on about the players being ‘tired because of the way we play’? Eh? Even Laird looks tired At 20 years old?

Well done Obefami! I’ll take 1-1 even if we don’t deserve it.

It is where we have been reaping the rewards recently.

Frustrating that we have to go 1-0 down sometimes before using it.
