Well, that just about keeps us in touch with the autos. Eleven games to make up a five point gap.

I can’t watch this shit every week. I feel like I’ve aged 10 years in 90 minutes. Fuck me, we don’t half make it hard for ourselves. The only consolation is if we ship 3 against Leeds or Leicester then we’re definitely losing …

SAS MATCH REPORT v Birmingham

  • Following our [silly big number] undefeated games, we appear to have now lost all form and take the confidence of a pimply 15yo into our trip to St Andrew’s.

  • Thankfully there’s a big in for this one with the return of Flynn Downes. Sometimes it’s hard to pinpoint the reason things have taken a turn for the worse, however in this case - just like the moment Macauley Culkin left the Home Alone franchise – the picture is much clearer. Come to think of it, I’ve not seen those two in the same room. Makes you think…

  • Anyway, on to the game and with Downes into the side and a renewed optimism I expect us to start strongly. 1-0 Birmingham. Yoshi with the goal. Not the cool one.

  • We almost go two down and I decide to have a quick glance at how many points 7th is currently on. Thankfully it stays at 1-0 and we begin to play ourselves into the game with some slick movement.

  • It sounds arrogant and a little clichĆ©, but this equaliser was a long time coming. Long time, short legs. 1-1. Beautiful by Brooks, clinical by Arma. Game on.

  • This is the sort of game I’ll miss if we do get promoted: tough, end-to-end, skilful and erratic. Players pumping their fists after a tackle and winning a throw in. It’s not quite Bruno Fernandes laying on the ground for seven minutes moaning at his imaginary friends, but we’ll take it.

  • With more snow falling than a 90’s Maradona picnic we’ve now established ourselves as the dominant team in this affair and it’s just a matter of time before it shows on the scoreline. 2-1 Birmingham.

  • The second half picks up where the first left off with a handful of chances in the opening moments before Brooks slices in and curls it majestically into the back of the net. That’s too classy for the Championship. Naughty boy. 2-2

  • If you thought you now had time to breathe you thought wrong. Smallbone takes a poor corner, but before a bunch of triple-chinned, knuckle-dragging miserable weirdos can even log on to their X account to aim disgusting abuse at a young man, he puts in a peach of a ball to Chele who does the rest. 3-2. What a league ladies and gentlemen.

  • Now that we’ve got the lead it’s surely time to take that breath. Wrong. Smallbone is charging towards goal looking for his third assist in a few minutes and he’s bowled over, however the ball continues into our path for a goalscoring opportunity and the referee wisely plays advantag….huh? He’s called it back?! The Saints players and fans are furious. Ahhh it’s a red card. The Birmingham players and fans are furious. Looks worse on 2nd replay, thankfully we don’t have to have a 203rd and 204th look at it like they would in that league above.

  • It’s now shooting gallery mode and a matter of how many goals we’ll win by. John Ruddy and his Zimmer frame are the only things keeping Birmingham in it, but it’s only a matter of time. 3-3 Birmingham. Sometimes you just have to laugh. Ha. Bloody Ha.

  • There’s time for a triple change and a handful more shots. The board goes up and there’s NINE minutes on there. Must be all the time they spent checking with VAR. Fair enough.

  • As I start to type ā€˜Two points thrown away’ and find the courage to anonymously troll people I don’t even know for upsetting my weekend, we have our 132nd corner in, ironically, the 132nd minute. BANGGGGGGG GETTTTT INNNNNNN! JOE ARIBOOOOOO makes it 4-3.

  • Never in doubt. Comfortable win in the end helped by Leeds and Leicester surprisingly dropping points. Looks like it’s now a race between us and Ipswich for the title. Fun times. Fun league

I see my positivity is catching on, even @Dizzyfeet couldn’t be bothered to predict the outcome

I have been completely ā€˜meh’ recently with football. I guess that was 25 games of optimism! I’ll get Miss Dizzyfeet to predict again. At least then I don’t have to endure the pain of looking at the upcoming fixtures and worry what will be the outcome.

Perhaps I need some help?

My pin the tail on the donkey approach works just as well.

I’m not bottom of the leaderboard….yet.

FFS, it was only a, slightly reckless, over the top, studs showing, aggressive, considerate tackle. I’ve seen worse. :cry:
