Thought the whole team put in a massive effort. Cowley looks fired up again. Exception was the keeper who looked as if he couldn't be arsed to be there.

He looked like a keeper who hadn’t played for a while. Birmingham unfairly didn’t play to his strengths which presumably is coming for crosses and commanding the area. Distribution was a bit dodgy but got better as the game went on. He’ll be fine. Birmingham are a much better team than WBA and unusually for an U21 side not afraid to get stuck in.
SPOOOOONER!

Wasn't there myself, what *drew you to that conclusion? *not sure if that's even a word. Didn't come fast enough for a ball that should have been his needing teammate to clear off line. Second goal he backed off from oncoming forward showing him more and more of the goal to aim at. Distribution so bad that if he didn't give it to a blue shirt he gave his teammates a suicide pass. He lounged about in goalmouth with little sign of interest in game. Pond at his worst was easily better.

"Chay just felt his adopter last week at half time so we didn't want to take any risks. Again another one who possibly could have got through but better managing him. Again that fine line of keeping the players safe and fit."
Debrief by Mr Caddis. Obviously very much a family affair in the dressing-room.

I want the keeper to be good. I hope he just couldn’t be bothered. I didn’t see anything that Caddis said he had in his locker Saturday. Maybe he thought there would be a big crowd behind him. He is going to get a lot of stick from the meadow end if that’s his best. Every player will have fans at all the clubs he plays for who will big him up for a new team. But the truth will out in league games The two keepers in the previous games were no worse than him possibly better. IMHO. .

Don't get this slagging off of the new keeper. He had no chance with the three goals but granted could have come off his line quicker in the one- on- one with the B'ham striker but did manage to force him wide enough to allow a defender to clear off the line. As for him 'not being arsed' what the hell is that about? Outside of the goals he virtually had nothing to do! Didn't see the Swindon game but the keepers against WBA were about 5ft 7in tall with no physicality at all - something that inspires no confidence for the NLN!

Looked far too slow in movement Saturday. Two people I spoke to had the same option. There was unrest in the meadow end Saturday I heard more than one negative comment during the game. (Your not pond) or something to that effect. I really hope he can play better. We don’t need to have a defender thinking I need to get on the line to clear the ball. The two keepers at Swindon were far more active in their area although I think they would get bullied in the league. Saturday was a game for Chapman to impress build up a hero status with the fans like pond did. I just don’t think he did.

He moved back rather than forward opening the angle for the second goal and with his size could have gone to ground and spread himself to make scoring more difficult. He wasn't just slow off his line, he came a poor second when he was favourite for the ball. He was so quiet and lethargic that his defence must have thought he'd gone home.

All a matter of opinion! Lets see what happens in 'proper' games.

And let's sack Caddis as well for his poor judgement in signing such a lazy player.

If he is as shite as people are alluding, how in hell's name has he ever played at this level? He must have been good at some point in his career.

If you're all saying that he's shite then I'm going to stick a tenner on him being in the team of the season.

He is held in high regard at clubs playing a higher level and his highlight clips are very impressive.
Let’s be patient eh? Nothing like a home end getting on a goalkeepers back in his first match.

Could be worse, if he makes a clanger he might get Waitrose customers shouting from the doorway as they walk in?

Vanarama National League North News: "South Shields manager Elloit Dickman refused to trot out any pre-season cliches after seeing his team succumb to another 5-0 friendly defeat. Our new goalkeeper is obviously just practicing for the first home game.
