'Big time' - Mixed reviews for Lee Bowyer as Birmingham City fans react to Derby County draw

Birmingham City fans have shared mixed messages to boss Lee Bowyer after they conceded twice late on to draw 2-2 with Derby County.

Lyle Taylor scored seven minutes into his Blues debut with a tidy finish into the bottom corner before Scott Hogan increased the away side's lead.

But Derby County hit back late on to salvage a point.

First Luke Plange found the net on 87 minutes before substitute Krystian Bielik levelled the scores deep into stoppage time with an astute acrobatic finish.

Speaking at full-time, Bowyer said: "That game should have been finished, done. We’re missing too many chances.

"[I’m] saying the same rubbish every time - miss chance after chance, don’t put games to bed, invite pressure at the end, silly fouls in silly areas, unnecessary, balls coming into the box, defend it properly, put your body on the line.

“Saying the same, same, same things.

“Scott Hogan should have at least three goals today, how he hasn’t got a hat trick I will never, ever know.

“But again, how many times have I sat here and said that after a game? Too many times. I am sick and tired of it.

“Leaving here with one point against a good Derby side, everything we work on, you put all the hours in on the training pitch, you do everything right and then you throw three points away.

“Every point you get in this league you have to earn, you can’t just throw them away, the game is finished. We have just give them a point, It’s not good.”

The result denies Blues a second win in nine Championship, but keeps them unbeaten for a third successive game and lifts them 13 points clear of the drop zone.

First time since he’s been here that I’ve edge towards Bowyer out. Tactics and subs have cost us 3 points yet again. We’re cruising and
