He’s written it as if it’s the 3rd round of the FA Cup

It’s a pre season friendly that’s being played at Birmingham’s training ground (another correction to the article who believes we are playing at st Andrews)
Actually nice to see someone ‘bigging up’ what is little more than a kick about behind closed doors. Hope his predicted side for the Brummies is correct as that will certainly test our defensive capabilities.

Is there a platform where we can keep up to date as to how the game is going against Birmingham City this afternoon?

If so, he would not be a bad acquisition.

Nicky Ajose refuses to train on Astroturf,Exeter we’re glad to be rid of him and a poor goalscoring record in league two was on big wages at Exeter but never lived up to them,is that the type of player we want or need

No live coverage. Will be a match report, and Birmingham are making a highlights video which will be on YT I imagine.

Nicky Ajose has only scored 18 goals in the past 5 seasons, Stay away!

Lad hasn't even kicked a ball in a Barrow shirt and already some pulling him apart...

People are allowed to have their reservations - Exeter fans seemed to regard him as an absolute disaster of a signing.

Hes from the Bury area so it could be a really good fit.

Poor stats and not spent more than a season at a club, could still turn out to be the new Ronaldo I guess...

I am sure we will have had a few "disaster" players over the years who have gone on to do well elsewhere.

Do we know for sure that Ajose is one of the triallists? The poster who claims it also said Quigley is our best ever player and the HS end should be named after him.
Wind-up, perhaps?

He's not even guaranteed to be playing. Seems a little quick to be spouting the negatives already. Just my take on it of course.
