Morning all

We’re inconsistent away as Millwall showed (beat em 4-0 at home) but pretty solid at home. Hoping we can do you lads a favour this evening.

I take it we can rely on your support

Draw would be best for me. Keep the gap between us and Boro but shit on the Hollywood City and their dream of the playoffs

The way you played when you beat us in January is exactly how to play against boro.
I'm expecting blues to get at least a point.

I'll be cheering you on mate, that's for sure.

In truth though, I've never had an issue with Blues. I known a lot of your fans, and they all seem like decent types, with a bit of a sense of humour and capable of having a bit of a laugh at their own expense.

Apart from when we play each other I wish you nothing but success, I think your fans deserve it.

On that note, I wondered what your thoughts were on the new stadium? No disrespect intended, but it looks like a very grandiose plan.

As you'll know, it didn't work out particularly well for us when we started down this road a few decades back - you could argue that it's only now that it's finally starting to pay off!

I can't go all in on supporting Blues, so a draw would do nicely. Also don't want them in the play offs with a chance to go up with us or worst case have to play them.

I want Birmingham to do us a favour tonight, the psychological blow to Boro probably puts them out of the picture. They need to build a 4 point gap above Ipswich or they’re in a bad situation going into that tie at Portman Road.

Anyone who doesn't want Birmingham to take all 3 points needs to have a proper look at themselves. Keeping up the gap is far more important than some petty rivalry

We all love the old grounds don’t we? I used to love the old Highfield Road which was one of my first away trips in the early 70s. Yes I’m that old!

The new stadium is needed if the club want to progress. St Andrews, although in the best state it’s ever been is in a horrible area now whereas the new one will be nearer the city centre and in the middle of a modern sports quarter. Knighthead are literally developing a modern state of the art addition to the city centre similar to resorts world by the NEC. It will benefit the city as a whole and create tons of jobs and opportunities.

The design of any ground is always subjective. It’s different which is good but the chimneys take some getting used to but new ideas always do. The fact that our rivals will be able to see it from their ground amuses me. The 62,000 capacity is aimed at other events but we can and will get bigger crowds. We can all remember going to the likes of West Ham, Spurs and Newcastle when they had sub 20,000 gate.

I welcome it and after a sad list of chancer owners the current ones are the type we used to dream about. Genuine and loaded

C'mon the Blues! I'm banking on you tonight.

@Stan_Drews the new stadium and sports quarter look like a great idea, although I confess that I don't like the chimneys.

I would rather Middlesborough go up than Ipswich so hope that they get a draw just to keep them that bit further ahead of them but far enough behind us.

Ultimately, I'm not bothered who comes up with us (should we do it). I want all teams that can still realistically can catch us to lose.

We all look to the gap between us and 3rd as the important part. BUT, the bigger the gap to 2nd, means the less likely 2 teams can over take us.

It's a complete no brainer. KRO.

Why does anyone have some affinity to Boro. Gibson is a snake - I hope they fail yet again

I do think realistically Blues need a win tonight to keep their season properly alive - 7/8 points with 11 games to go is achievable but a pretty tall order when in and around the Top 6 is as clustered as it is this season, Boro would possibly take a point but will deep down want a confidence boosting win

Blues do not lose many at home, it will be a good game to watch as a neutral, goals in it I think - Boro will play how they played against us and Blues will pick them off and win 2-1 imo

I find you tend to have a little liking to teams you seem to be beating regularly…. Ironically I weren’t keen on them 5 years ago.. pretty sure our play off win was our first win at the riverside

Always found their fans welcoming when ive been and they generally speak ok about us other than the 10 year old outside the away turnstiles with a fag in his mouth giving us all the Vs and questioning my sex life when they beat us 1-0 a few years a go

Not really, other games are available

What a manager they have there. If only we could of :( Fair play on promotion, can only half fill their ground though - why's that?
