If they lose to Derby then that puts Derby 3 points behind them with 2 to play. Rotherham have 5 to play so both can overtake Birmingham. I think Bowyer will have Birmingham well up for it to secure survival with a win. No way will they be on the beach as defeat puts them right back in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fitting place for the start of our turnaround and return to former glories. Or more likely we’ll lose in the 97th minute to get relegated to the pub league. I think the demise that season was Newcastle away, but after that game. Derby away was the biggest sickener. Even if we had won that game, I don’t think it would have made any difference to that season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only played them twice in the 60's and 70's, then we had a decent record against them in the 80's. But after we beat them at Hillsborough in March 1990 we went 10 league games without a win until winning at Pride Park in 2005/06. Then another 15 league games before our next win at Hillsborough in 2016/17. From that season our record has improved a bit, W3 D2 L4. It's our record at Pride Park that's poor, 1 win in 16 league games there. Funnily enough Darren Moore played for them when we had our only win there.

Yep I’ve been saying the same, the late forest equaliser the other night was big as it means Brum can still be relegated and they won’t be relaxing just yet. They should put in enough effort to at least get a draw against a poor Derby side. Personally I feel the scores tomorrow will be as follows.. Derby 1-1 Brum Barnsley 2-1 Rotherham Boro 3-1 owls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runningaround Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 I made the outside prediction for 2 reasons. 1) we are due some luck 2) the two in question are totally bereft of ideas and fight it seems.

The Wednesday Way would be for us to concede late equalisers in our next 2 games whilst Derby lose their next 2, then actually win at Derby on the final day to go above them, and also to finish above Rotherham who lose all their remaining games. Only for another 98th minute penalty winner for Wycombe on the final day, 5 minutes after we beat Derby, to put them 4th bottom for the first time all season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be very surprised if Bowyer or the club owners thought like you. “Yeah Rotherham can overtake us, but it won’t happen so let’s slacken off now lads yeah?”. Fortunately I feel Birmingham will actually try tomorrow to mathematically ensure their safety for next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
