Birmingham City made it just one win in 19 Championship away games when they fell to a 2-0 defeat to relegation favourites, Rotherham United.

The Blues were outfought and outclassed for the majority of the 90 minutes in what was an extremely sub-par performance.

John Eustace’s men were backed by over 2,200 bluenoses who supported the team from minute one and those that travelled deserved far more from those that took to the field.

Here’s a snippet of what some of the fanbase had to say after the defeat.

What Birmingham fans have been saying

@Chazaprickett08: “Relegation all but confirmed”

@d3anr: “When Bowyer went I thought the wingback system and forcing players out of position would change, but here we are.”

@danbrown2001: “Time for Roberts to accept he’s not good enough, backed hogan a lot but he’s missed several again, bullied all across the middle of the park and none of them are fighting for the shirt. Just not good enough at all and this is the season #bcfc”

@mannisxngh: “Joke of a club. Relegation on if nothing changes. Maybe a good thing. Time for a reset.”

@EdNeilHiggs: “We are absolutely, totally, doomed.”

@JamesKelly2398: “No Passion No Fight No Desire No Money No Tactics No Philosophy Can’t even fix a stadium.... Come on Worst ran club in the EFL”

@Beaublue077: “I cannot see where we are going to get another point let alone a WIN!! Eustace is offering nothing. To lose to Wigan & Rotherham is embarrassing. Relegation for definite if we don’t get BSHL out & new owners in & buy players!! Awful”

@AdamPease12: “We’re gonna be in serious trouble if this continues, losses to Wigan and Rotherham in the past 2 weeks what an absolute joke. Not 1 player actually looked good today except from Ruddy who kept us in the game saving the pen and then we bottled it again and conceded. Shocking. Done”

@B9Denaro: “The fact despite our situation thousands of fans travel around the country and you do them repay them with that display, absolutely disgraceful”
