Its that time again >>>>>
Only just come back from a battering against Millwall and its time to go again. Millwall - a point well earned. The first point in the last 5 away games. Lets hope it is a sign of positive results to come. Results elsewhere were unpredictable - as is usual in the Championship: Coventry got a good win and the invincible Sheffield United were on the receiving end of a 4-1 drubbing. Now they know what it feels like!
Luton got beat today at Kenilworth Road [Sunday]. We are still in the mix - so lets keep our nerve, pray that we start scoring [dont care who] and win a few more vital games. Birmingham are a fragile team, prone to collapse if they go behind. As well as a fragile ground - parts of which are currently closed off due to corroding steel and asbestos - they havent seen the Hong Kong owners very often - and there`s big problems off-field. Thats us beaten 3-1 then!!??
Seriously, we can get the three points doing what we did against Luton and Millwall - work hard as a unit and get that ball in the onion bag. A bit quicker taking chances and less passing the ball out wide in a semi-circle around the opposition goal! Tav is due his third of the season. Jones needs to oil his roller-skates and the boys on loan from darn sarf need to get their scoring boots on. If the worse happens - we can rely on Joe Lumley to come out of his area for a corner at the other end - and do a "Jimmy Glass"
Fixtures for Tuesday 15th March:
Championship Table:
Lee Bowyer Reaction to Blues 0-0 against Hull:
But building on last weekend’s win at Bristol City was the aim and the hosts achieved that without too many scares to record a first shutout in exactly a month as the Boss chalked up his 50th game in charge.
Assessing the meeting against the Tigers, the Head Coach spoke honestly about his players’ display and what prevented them from taking the maximum whilst highlighting the plus points.
He told the media: “[It was] not very pretty. Two groups of honest lads working hard but the quality wasn’t there for both teams today. It disappointed me because we had some good players out there today.
“There’s no excuse. We got into some good positions, especially second-half. We can improve on that side of things, create and score more goals. They are human beings and they can’t be perfect all the time. Too many had off days.
“There are positives, we didn’t lose, and we kept a clean sheet.”
[Easily pleased then?]

Lee Bowyer Reaction to Blues 0-0 against Hull:
Lee Bowyer was able to take the positives after his side were held at home by Hull City in the Sky Bet Championship.
Blues came closest to scoring on Saturday afternoon and had the better of a hard-fought contest in the Second City, with Lyle Taylor seeing a header cleared off the line and a number of inviting Onel Hernandez crosses having everything but a final touch.But building on last weekend’s win at Bristol City was the aim and the hosts achieved that without too many scares to record a first shutout in exactly a month as the Boss chalked up his 50th game in charge.
