bluenose_72 198 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 First full season in the Premiership and his Birmingham side sit 8th with 24 points from 16 games. Although they struggle for goals, their defence has been great. He has brought in some good players and is putting together a mostly physical side to cope in the Premiership(exactly what Monkeyheid didn't do with West Brom). With the money he will get to spend in January, he may build a side who can consistently finish in the top 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GersDude90 1 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Roger Johnson has been the buy of the season for me. He has been absolutely immense for them at the back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyCR1 1,566 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Boydy will join them in January and fire them even higher If he goes anywhere, which i hope he doesn't. But if he does go i would like to see him go to birmingham, I think he would be a big success. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amac9 2,060 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I have to say I had Birmingham down for relegation this season. I didn't think they would score enough goals but Lee Bowyer is chipping in with a fair few important goals. They need to sign a goalscorer in January IMO. Hopefully they can do well.

Jimfanciesthedude 25,691 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 always thought eck was a good coach, maybe not as a manager as his signings etc are hit and miss, but for coaching his players and working with them etc, him and andy watson are a cracking team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I have to say I had Birmingham down for relegation this season. I didn't think they would score enough goals but Lee Bowyer is chipping in with a fair few important goals. They need to sign a goalscorer in January IMO. Hopefully they can do well. im a big fan of chucho benitez but he doesnt get that many goals thats cause he is a greedy cunt. If he cut it out his game in a season or 2 he could be playing in the top 4. Scott Dann for me has been solid since signing from Coventry, Young defender aswell. No big names in the team but work well as a unit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumshie 205 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Well done to big Eck. Although I felt he should have left at the Inter game at Ibrox he can't fault the man for the way he conducted himself as Rangers manager through very difficult circumstances so good on him for doing well at Birmingham. Whoeever said johnston was the signing of the season was spot-on. £5m was an absolute bargain. Can't see McLeish gettin £40m to spend but if he even got half of that I'm sure he would keep Birmingham mid-table at the very least. He won't go back in for Boyd though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
