'If we don't see a reaction, I am really concerned'
Ex-Blues captain Ian Clarkson believes "something needs to change" at Birmingham following their crushing 6-1 defeat to Brentford in the Carabao Cup.
Former Birmingham City captain Ian Clarkson expressed deep concern over the club's recent performance, lamenting a 6-1 defeat to Premier League side Brentford in the Carabao Cup. The Blues had shown promise in pre-season but have drawn their first two league matches, adding to the recent cup loss. Their next match is away to Wrexham in the Championship, with Southampton and Wolves to follow.
Clarkson highlighted the lack of visible change, stating, "There's been lots of talk about change, but we aren't really seeing it on the pitch." He called for a stronger defensive performance on Friday's match against Wrexham, urging the team to demonstrate significant improvement. "If we don't see a reaction on Friday, I am really concerned," Clarkson emphasized. He acknowledged the need for a more assertive team, saying, "It'll be a different team, but it'll need to be a lot better than it was tonight."
