Fallen off a cliff in the back end of the season and gone a bit unnoticed. Even their fans are turning a bit.
Probably has one eye looking out the door tbf and will still lazily get put in team of the season. Might turn up on the final day to try and impress us to get that summer move to the champions.
He looked a real player at our place but he literally had the freedom of the midfield and like Blackburn did just ran through us.
Play that game again but with The Tank in alongside Grimes and, in my opinion, he doesn’t look half the player and certainly wouldn’t get the room he did that day.
Boro are a good side - but clearly don’t have a route to breakdown a team that sit deep. Us, Leicester, Oxford and now Charlton have exposed that. They look great when stupid teams try to match them up with similar tactics but worse squads (Blues/QPR). No idea what any of the Birmingham/QPR scouts or analysts do all week when every week they trot out the same tactics and then go on to get pumped 60% of the time.

Blues weren't humble enough to follow the blueprint we'd set. My blues mate told me they'd go toe-to-toe and they're a match for anyone at St. Andrews playing their way. Went well didn't it
All credit to them for chanting ‘We are top of the league’ so heartily for the one game they were.
If Boro finish second they deserve to go up . There’s still 1/5 of the season left. They are nearly there aren’t they?
