Yeah I always come down on a Friday so much easier takes me 3 1\2 hours on a clear run but anything up to six hours if there has been an accident on the roads. Always go down the 42 now to Bromsgrove and hop on M5 to Stourbridge the M6 past Star City to M5 turn off and M5 from West Brom to Oldbury through the roadworks is an absolute joke right now.Amazes me the lengths some go to, to get to games. Great report this

Im fortunate in as much as I am retired so I can come up Thursday, but the M5 coming the other way to Gator is so crowded with holiday traffic that my normal 3 1/2 hour trip for two games last season took seven hours due to accidents and motorway closure.Yeah I always come down on a Friday so much easier takes me 3 1\2 hours on a clear run but anything up to six hours if there has been an accident on the roads.

Yeah I do find the roads are clearer mid week but I find if I leave my house at 8.15 am on Fridays by the time I hit the hot spots they are normally quite clear it's just accidents that throws a spanner in the works.Im fortunate in as much as I am retired so I can come up Thursday, but the M5 coming the other way to Gator is so crowded with holiday traffic that my normal 3 1/2 hour trip for two games last season took seven hours due to accidents and motorway closure.
Friday is a disaster with people looking to get back to Brum a day early from holidays.
Where as Elphick is pretty much David Luiz?
Hutton goes missing defensively way too often and after having very little impact following his forays.No Player is immune mate but you are on a hiding on here if you have a pop at Hutton Chester or Jack or in my case Hourihane who apparently runs a lot :eek!:
Not looking to make Hutton a scapegoat - just yet again pointing out the blindingly obviousJust trying to give perspective and making the point that both goals conceded involved mistakes by defenders. Jedi’s was a physical error and Hutton failed to get goal side on a cross, something that we are taught as five year olds.... Jedinak is getting hammered on here and having his career written off by a few, yet Cafu’s error on the second goal is overlooked.... all players make mistakes but it’s how you respond that counts. We win and people are still looking for scapegoats.....
Yup!Bruce: 6 - we won the game. That's two in two. So well done. However, I find it unbelievable that in our first home game we start with a CB at RB, a CM at CB and a RB at LB - three of the back four out of position in front of a new keeper! He needs to sort this and get a settled back line ASAP.
