Birmingham are up to 2nd after beating Millwall 3-0 tonight.

How the hell have Stoke got themselves up to third? They looked mediocre at best when we played them at SMS.

I was prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt and accept there might have been some personal stuff going on with him that meant he wasn't getting any game time, because we had seen glimpses earlier in the season that he might have something about him. There was one moment in the first half tonight where he showed good strength and skill to win the ball out on the right and play a neat backheel to keep possession and get us moving forward again. But aside from that he did nothing else of any note. I can only assume we missed out on other targets to replace Stewart and this lad was a last minute panic loan to make up the numbers. He's been very poor. Not quite Damion Downs level of bad, but not far off.

Happy enough with a draw, especially given how poor we were first half. Could have won it, but equally could easily have conceded more as well. Brom probably the best team we've played so far.

A handful of Brom fans have stayed behind to sing "You cheating bastards, you know what you are" while we salute the fans. Aw, bless them.

And yet he added more in the 7 minutes he was on the pitch than Mubama did for 70 mins.

Did you wait for the final whistle before hitting submit this time?

What was the time of Larin's equaliser up there last season? 93rd min was it?

Oh Dobs! Have to at least hit the target there!

That ball from Downes to Azaz was a thing of beauty.

He's getting ready to come on.

Jeez. How have we not conceded again!?

Yeah that Edozie is useless isn't he.

It feels like one of those games that we've been on the other side of many times over the years. WBA will be going in at HT happy to be in the lead but expecting to have to score more "because they can't possibly that bad for the second half, can they?"

Why is it to be expected?
