Talking Points sponsored by John Hicken Industrial roofing and cladding materials

Much has been made of the amount of games Blues have left to play this season (a minimum of seventeen), and the current thinness of the squad over the last few days. The sale of Beausejour seems a bit bizarre bearing in mind Blues were supposed to be okay on the money front and are now without a truly left-sided midfielder in the first team. Where do we go from here?

Saturday, February 18th, 2012

Today sees Birmingham City take on the mighty Pensioners of Chelsea for the right to be in the draw for the quarter finals of the FA Cup. It’s a tough draw for Blues but last year proved that sometimes you can’t count on your reputation to win the game.

Leamington Put The Brakes On Senior Cup Hopes

Wednesday, January 11th, 2012

Blues bowed out of the Birmingham Senior Cup last night after a poor 2-1 defeat to Leamington Town. Despite taking the lead in the first half through Ashley Sammons, Blues weren’t at the races in the second period and Leamington’s pressure told as they pulled the tie back before hitting the winner with 7 minutes to go.
