It was a disappointing game for Birmingham City fans as they saw their team lose 2-0 to QPR. And while the team aren’t quite at risk of fighting a relegation battle, the gap between them and a playoff spot is growing bigger with every point they drop (Sky Sports).
Manager Pep Clotet will demand more from his players. In fact, after the club tweet about the result, there were many fans who slated the players themselves. There were many players in the firing line, but one player caught a majority of the abuse. Fans were frustrated by the poor performance of Jacques Maghoma.
How Maghoma played an entire 90 minutes is beyond me

Who takes bela off and leaves maghoma on????

Harley Dean and Wes Harding are appalling. Mags is awful and our only good player was Bela and he was subbed off for bailey who ran round like a chicken with his head cut off.

Shocking substitutions and Harlee Dean being Harlee Dean has cost us that.
Only bright spark was McEacheran. Out of interest does anyone know how I can enter the competition that Maghoma won so I can play on Saturday? #BCFC

Do you think Jacques Maghoma needs some time on the bench?
Yes
No
Some fans even called for the midfielder to never play in a Birmingham shirt again.
We riot if Maghoma ever plays again this season

Maghoma and Dean need to go

What do we think?
Surely the fans won’t be the only ones disappointed with Maghoma’s performance. The player will be demanding more from himself. Assuming he does get another chance to play, he will want to prove to the fans why he deserves to wear the shirt.
