Loderingo Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 I would be betting on Brum to drop at this stage. While Rotherham have a huge fixture pile up, they have a favourable run in early April - Wycombe H, Hudds A, QPR H, Brum H. If Rotherham can get enough points from those that should see them most of the way to safety. They also have a big goal difference advantage (12 better than Brum) so can afford to play a weakened team once or twice in less favourable fixtures.

Bris Red Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 20 hours ago, Chrisbc said: They are 3 points ahead of Rotherham who have 4 games in hand, think they are in big trouble! Karanka is supposed to be renounced for his sides being very strong defensively, yet I thought they looked like one of the worst sides I've seen this season, especially at the back. As good as we were for me they look designed for the drop. Good i hope they go down, cannot stand the club. It’s about time their luck ran out at this level anyway, that last gasp goal away at Bolton to stay in this league in 2014 on the final day i think it was and then again in 2017 at our place on the final day to stay up.. as i said about time the luck ran out and they had a taste of the third tier!

The Journalist Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 Is it just me or do we seem to have a ridiculous high hit-rate of getting managers sacked? I'm fairly sure that's our second one this season already after Lamouchi at Forest. Who else have we got rid of lately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume unless a couple of teams went on really bad runs (Preston, Huddersfield etc) there will not be any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of all the clubs having fans that "think they are big" Birmingham is the strangest case. I can understand why Leeds and Villa when they were down here, Sheffield Wednesday and even Forest fans have a bit of an attitude that way....................but Birmingham City a MASSIVE club? Do me a favour!! It wouldn't hurt their fans to have to spend a few seasons going to places like The Mem and the Wham Stadium..............might drop them a peg or two in time.

Didn't he want Bryan and Flint and offered something like £5 million for the pair (it could have been less) and seemed genuinely surprised that we said no? Bless him.

As long as we remain a “never been in the premier league” club, I think that we will continually be viewed as “ we should be beating these” by ex-premier league teams.

But you do make a good point.........the Few are literally in a six club battle to avoid relegation and it is pretty much 50/50 on whether they do or not I think (maybe 51/49 in their favour!!). What concerns me is there is some absolute rot down there with them (like Northampton) and you do wonder whether they can be THAT bad. My logic is that assuming the Tesco Bags will just do enough to stay up means it would be that much funnier if the "worst" were to happen to them.
