In Episode 19 of Forever Blues, Mox and Tatts dive into another frustrating away day for Birmingham City, prompting a deep-dive discussion. The 1-0 defeat to Bristol City followed a familiar, worrying pattern: plenty of possession but no end product. Is this just a blip or a sign of a deeper identity crisis?

The lads debate the reasons behind Blues' struggles in the final third, questioning the use of Paik Seung-ho in the number 10 role and whether lessons are being learned from previous games. Plus, with two wins in the last ten matches, they discuss the pressure on Chris Davies and the importance of the owners holding their nerve.

From on-pitch problems to off-pitch ambition, the conversation then turns to the hugely impressive Open House event. Tatts gives his take on Tom Wagner's vision, the incredible plans for a new "iconic" stadium , and the club's new multi-million-pound commitment to data and analytics.
