An injury time equaliser from Paul Caddis for Birmingham City against Bolton ensured that it was Doncaster Rovers and not the Blues who were relegated to League One.

Match previews sponsored by EZE Group - Lifestyle Experts

Blues face Leeds today in what is a crunch game in the Championship – win it and the teams around us lose and we are virtually mathematically safe; the reverse and we are in deep trouble. A game without a win today also sets a much unwanted all-time record in the Championship of seventeen home league games without a win. With this in mind I’ve decided to dispense with the normal style of these pieces and address this directly to Lee Clark.

After a summer of woe, Birmingham City gave their fans a pleasant surprise at the end of the window with the permanent capture on a three year deal of former loanee Paul Caddis from Swindon Town for an undisclosed fee, believed to be around £150,000. It was the second time Caddis signed for Blues on deadline day having signed the Scot on a season long loan on August 31 last season.
