2 Games ago we were 4 points behind Middlesbrough, now we're 1 point behind with a game in hand.

Very true, we could have gone to Boro needing more than just the 3 points if Boro had won today, but now 3 points against Boro is all we need.

Oh we've gotta test the keeper with finger-stingers. He didn't like shots at him did he? Mind you, the rain probably shook his confidence with a wet ball coming at pace.

That looked like false belief and bravado for me from those Boro players, trying to talk it up, but you could see how much pressure they're under.

Well, we can lose Monday and still go up. I'll take that now. 4 pts and we're definitely promoted. Wow. I'm shitting myself for Monday already. What time are we starting drinking!!?? Now!?

Yes, although I can't help thinking that the team that needs to win tends to be more up for it than the team which needs to draw.

We mustn't let that effect us.

While true, wait until after Derby. If we do manage to win that, I'm personally going to write to My Hughton (because he clearly needs advice from some random idiot).

Fanmcdabbingtondozee. Not sure how I'll survive the rest of this season with such nagging trepidation and pounding hope, but by blingington what a season it's been.

Should Konstantopoulos have saved the two goals?

Weak point in the Boro team?

Sky only want to talk about a decision. So unimaginative with regards to commentating on a game. Well battled by Birmingham, they gave everything.

It was never a free kick that led to the disallowed goal so they can wind their neck in.

Eh, if we beat Derby with any score, and draw at Borough, we are up, two points clear of Borough. You sure you've not on the pop tonight's?

Definitely - even if we lose, we're ok.

Whatever happens we go to the Riverside knowing that a win will promote us! It's like reaching the play off final!!

It's not quite like reaching the final, as a draw against Derby will leave us needing a win in 90 minutes, but a playoff final gives you longer.
