One question from me......why was Shea granted a work permit but Agudelo was not?

Shea was a regular USA squad player, and Aggers was injured a lot so missed USA games.

Mixed reviews on Twitter. Some called him/his hair shit, others praised his work ethic for charging back to clear off the line and having a go at goal. You never know with fans though, it's hard to judge. If you searched remarks about Stoke players on Twitter then our entire squad would be shit - as there's always someone moaning.

Wierd that Agudelo still doesn't have a club. He's on a free transfer and yet nobody has taken a chance on him.

One question from me......why was Shea granted a work permit but Agudelo was not? You might ask 'did Brek Shea (and possibly even Geoff Cameron) getting a work permit negatively affect the panel responsible for Agudelo's permit?'

And with Edu's success too to back up Agudelo's application. How did it all go wrong?

Not even in their matchday squad today against Millwall.
Apparently played the full 90 for their U21 team yesterday.
Odd to say the least

How would Cameron have a bad impact when until recently he's played practically every game? No, it's all on Brek!

Is it too charitable to suggest he's been left out as he's desperately lacking match fitness - and that's why Clark thought it better to give him 90 minutes for the U21s yesterday? To be ultra fair to him, I don't suppose he has ever had a run of games since his ill-fated spell at Barnsley. Or is he really simply not good enough to get into this Birmingham 18? To be fair, I've seen nothing in his brief outings to suggest he actually is. Brum MailHe says he's got "something to prove" but, Christ, if he can't get into the worst, most cash-strapped Birmingham team of the last decade, things are looking bleak.

If that is indeed the case it's pretty terrible management. He started the first two games? Then the bench. Now the reserves. Sounds a similar pattern for him in England!

How would Cameron have a bad impact when until recently he's played practically every game? No, it's all on Brek! If you put it in the context of last summer, when Agudelo's first appeal was rejected, Cameron had spent a season as a squad player filling in across the pitch. He never really properly held down a first team place under TP, was shunted about all over the pitch from left back to the Mama role and his principle competition became the only two players from our academy to get anywhere near the first team in recent years. With the noises Greg Dyke was making at the time, that might have been a bit of a big deal. Of course, Shea and Edu (who I'd forgotten about - quite easy to, really) will probably have had a bigger effect on the decision.

If that's not counted as being a regular I don't know what is. I solely blame Brek. Oh and Kitson, obviously.

Didn't feature or make the subs bench in Brum's 1v1 draw at Charlton.
Formation was 4231 so he perhaps wasn't considered better or equal to the three attacking midfielders.

Wonder how this affects Brek?
Birmingham City have sacked manager Lee Clark and his assistant Steve Watson.
Blues, 21st in the Championship, have placed first-team coach Richard Beale and chief scout Malcolm Crosby in temporary charge at St Andrew's.
Former Huddersfield boss Clark, 41, was appointed in June 2012 and led Birmingham to 12th in his first season in charge, before they avoided relegation on the final day last term.
"The search for a successor has already begun," a club statement confirmed.
"The board will look to make an appointment in the very near future."
Clark - along with his Huddersfield backroom staff of Terry McDermott and Derek Fazackerley - steered the club to mid-table in their first season.
