We have the players that have shown us many times this season that they can do it and win games so they just need to start doing it once again.

Not scoring first has been our downfall of late because we have all seen the discipline being eroded the longer the game goes on.

Mentioned big players doing their job they have to.

Morgan take off your gloves roll your sleeves up and get on the score sheet once again

It's maybe the ideal scenario to snap us out of our current malaise. A big fat reality slap across the face might work wonders for us. Prove Sorba Thomas wrong, passing paralysis needs to start yielding results again.

There are three or four players, maybe more, whose standards have slipped significantly and in some cases yet to deliver. This is their opportunity, it's in their hands from the Coaches right through the entire playing staff. Cometh the hour, cometh the man.

We just need to go to Birmingham and play like we did against Sheffield United in the first half.🤞

Could we throw a curve ball on Monday and play a low block ourselves. With our movement and passing I’d back us on the counter attacks

As much as it does feel like a need to win game, Birmingham have lost once at home this season and once in the last 41 games at St Andrews. Tough game.

Losing at Coventry and an inability to beat both Oxford and Leicester at home means that we go to St. Andrews having to win.

It's not an option if we are serious about automatic promotion. It was in our hands to keep ahead of the pack and even to overtake Coventry but we blew it and now just two weeks later find ourselves having to regroup, lick our wounds and fightback.

I'm not sure that a few of KH's first picks have that fight and fire in their belly, consequently he may have to dish out some tough love with his line up come Monday night.

Tought game or not, them's the stakes.

Lose and it's out of our hands for the first time this season.

A draw is scarcely any better.

Putting all the expectation on a single match away from home and fans demanding a win against a team that has only lost once at home in 40(!) games is just daft and setting yourself up for failure and then further recrimination.

Let’s assume that while it’ll be nice to win and we might have an okay chance against a team that’s more expansive and attacking, a good result is still a vague maybe and our remaining points will likely come from elsewhere.

Having said that if Conway is going to drift left under instruction then I’d like to see whoever’s actual job to remain central grows a pair and acts like a proper poacher and works his ass off to beat every defender to the cutback and score

I'm not demanding a win, there's every possibility that we won't win, they're no mugs.

But only a win will be a good result for us on Monday, anything else and our implosion continues.

That's fine if you win your easy home games but we just blew two of our kindest fixtures of the whole run in.

Man up please TC...

You never know our strikers might score a goal. I'm not holding my breath.

We don't have to win, not getting beat is a must. Although there will still be another mini melt down, the confidence gained from not getting beat at a difficult ground with only one defeat all season is immeasurable. I suspect we will see a very good display, whether this is enough to gain all 3 points is anyone's guess. Let's hope we make our night and annoy Sky's pundits.

Went to auschwitz yesterday. If anyone is looking for a way to not be too bothered about every single result not going our way on a Saturday, that'll do it!

Any recommendations for pubs/ bars to watch the Boro game in krakow? I'm thinking the 'English football club' atm.

On the game, a must win surely. Everyone around us is piling on the pressure and we'll drop away rapidly if we don't start winning again. I'll go for a nervy 2-1 win. Conway and Whittaker to start scoring again
