If you had told me a few months ago that Blues were going into the final game of the season with nothing to play for, then I would have assumed we'd had already been relegated.

In what is a pivotal match at the bottom end of the Championship, Blues face Rotherham at The New York Stadium. In what is a real “6 pointer” a win for Blues would almost confirm safety from relegation, with four games remaining. However, a Rotherham win would leave the Blues 3 points from the drop, […]

Blues face Stoke City later today, hoping to make it 3 wins on the bounce at home. This is despite a pretty awful home record prior to Bowyer’s arrival, winning just 3 of the previous 18 home matches. If Bowyer can match our home wins under Karanka in just 3 games, it will be a […]

Blues play 3rd place Brentford this evening, hoping to damage another teams hopes of promotion from the championship. It is Lee Bowyer’s 4th game in charge, with all four coming against teams in the top 6. A massive win on Friday against Swansea City meant that the team have taken 6 points out of a […]

After a break from club football due to the international break, yawn, Blues face promotion chasing Swansea at 8PM tonight. It will be Bowyer’s 3rd game in charge, with one win and one loss against Reading and Watford respectively. The international break has given Bowyer the first real opportunity to work with his squad, having […]

It feels weird writing a preview feeling somewhat positive towards a game. Yet, after a stellar performance by Blues in Lee Bowyer’s first game in charge, I actually think we could get a result. What Bowyer did was simple really, he made Blues play to their strengths, and the player’s responded by giving it their […]

The last time I wrote a match preview, the final game of last season, Blues were looking nervously below them, hoping that 50 points would be enough to secure safety from relegation to League One. Frankly, if you told me 8 months later we would be in a situation just as worrying, despite a new […]

For the third time in four seasons, Blues go into their last game of the season today with safety from relegation from the Championship not confirmed. Blues are just two points ahead of 22nd place Luton Town, who face a Blackburn Rovers team with nothing to play for. Blues’ Championship status for next season is […]

Blues head into their penultimate Championship game today against Preston knowing securing a point will confirm safety from relegation. A point would leave Blues on 51 points, three clear off the dropzone should Hull or Luton (who both have vastly inferior goal differences) win. A injury time equaliser by Lukas Jutkiewicz earned Blues a big […]

Blues go into this evenings match with Charlton Athletic with the knowledge that a win will assure Championship survival thanks in large part to Hull City’s dramatic implosion at Wigan and Luton being held to a draw by QPR last night. With no news of an incoming permanent manager, other than fluctuations in the bookmakers […]

Spooner who is the Club’s Senior Professional Development Coach and Gardner, the First Team Coach, will be hoping to […]

After Blues conceded a last minute goal in their 1-0 loss to high flying Fulham at the weekend, the team are now winless in 9. With five games remaining Blues are not completely safe form relegation just yet, with a four point gap to Hull in 23rd place. However, with Wigan losing 3-0 to Brentford […]

Despite facing relegation candidates Hull City and Huddersfield Town back to back, Blues head into tomorrow’s game at Craven Cottage on a nine-match winless run in all competitions. After managing just one point since the restart of the championship, many Blues fans have started to look nervously down the table. Blues currently lie on 49 […]

After an entertaining 3-3 draw with Hull at the weekend, Blues will be looking to end their winless streak of eight games when they face relegation threatened Huddersfield tonight. This game is Blues’ first game of seven in a busy month of July that will see the conclusion to the Sky Bet Championship season. Huddersfield […]

After a 15-week hiatus, Blues finally return to playing tomorrow as they face West Brom at the Hawthorns. Although there hasn’t been any action on the pitch during the break, there has been plenty off it. Following the announcement that Blues will be looking for their fifth manager in 3 years, due to once again […]

We can’t be the only ones who are a little scared by Blues right now. We’re passing the ball around nicely, taking shots, we have some good young players and we’re winning at home. Something is clearly about to go wrong. However, we have to enjoy it while we can, and if England can outperform […]

Blues come into the Luton game off the back of two consecutive home victories and sitting three points off the playoffs, which is a nice position to be in. Maxime Colin’s first goal for well over a year was enough to see off Blackburn, as he put the finishing touches on an excellent Blues move. […]

Though Blues lost on Saturday, it’s not all doom and gloom. A narrow loss to one of the best sides in the division away from home is gutting, but to be expected. Now, though, Blues face the test of a winnable home game just a few days after. With some tired legs, they’ll need to […]

The timing of the international break could not possibly have been worse for Blues. While we got to bathe in the glow of a last minute winner for an extra week, all the momentum from it was immediately lost as we got to watch England struggle to a loss against Czech Republic. Great. Enough about […]

Whoever thought this game would be a good one for TV is at best, ambitious, at worst, a sado-masochist. Blues have been dire to watch for large stretches of this season, and Middlesbrough aren’t exactly Barcelona either. This was never more obvious than against Wigan in mid-week, a game where both teams blatantly lacked quality […]

There’s never a dull moment following Blues. A stellar comeback saw Blues go from 0-2 down to 2-2, but a missed penalty and some non-existent defending left Blues fans reeling at the final whistle. Quite why a player who only scores with his head was on penalty duty, we’re not sure, but at least next […]

Ah, Blues. Just as we got our hopes up, you went and screwed it up. A depressing home loss to Preston – not necessarily the result, but the manner of it – don’t have Blues fans too excited with the prospect of Derby away. Pep Clotet has pressure on him to find a winning line-up, […]

Blues are sitting pretty in the top half of the table – a far cry from where many of us expected. Back to back winners from teenage sensation Jude Bellingham have Blues fans riding a wave and with another home game to come, the feeling could go through the roof, or back down to Earth. […]
