Has it been a positive start to the season, or is the Championship ultimately a results-based business? Colin Tattum and Paul Tait are back to give their verdict after Blues suffered their first defeat of the season at Norwich City.
The boys dissect the 2-1 loss at Carrow Road, pinpointing the fine margins and big missed chances—including Liam Millar's controversial offside goal and Carlos Vicente's incredible miss. Taity explains why Blues must get tighter in key defensive moments and stop giving away preventable goals, while praising the league debut of Kristoffer Lund.
Tatts and Taity also look back at the relentless, front-foot performance against Wolves, analysing the crazy own goal, Patrick Roberts' impact, and Jay Stansfield getting back on the scoresheet. Plus, the lads welcome the emotional St. Andrew's return of Tom Wagner, discussing the driving force behind the club.
Finally, the focus shifts to Derby County where John Eustace is under pressure, a debate over Marvin Ducksch's role, and a passionate plea from Taity to give Blues' academy youngsters like Tyrese Warmington a proper chance in the first team.
