Have we won yet ( said in a pleading way ). Personally think today is already a relegation six pointer against a team we need to better. Things will change IF the right players are bought in but only time will tell

It's not right, but it's ok. Actually, I love it. The way those footballs look so cosy wrapped up in that long ribbon in the Birmingham badge fills me with hope. We can do this. Nil-nil.
