Were loose (to an appalling penalty).

And eight other goals.

The ten million dollar question - how many goals will the Cherries score against us tonight? 3 or 4 for me although I'm hoping for a Brighton win.

It could be a horror show tonight.

However, on the offchance we beat them, then a Wigan defeat v Fulham means Wigan can't catch us.

I was feeling hopeful with the 'we do better against top teams' feeling on the back of victories over Derby and Leeds (before their collapse), but seeing articles in the argus about how Chris knows how to stop Birmingham has just made me resigned to defeat.

Especially when coupled with the news Naylor expects some changes to the line up, including Best starting.

If we match Wigan's result, that will leave them needing to win their last four games to overtake us - and I can't see that happening. Draws all round would be good (assuming we ain't going to win) - that would keep us ahead of Fulham too.
