Just watching the Villa v Brum game and wondered if anyone is particularly bothered by what Birmingham do anymore?
Obviously at the start of the season we wanted them losing games to keep them down at the bottom (after it was clear we would be too) but they're now looking a mid-table team.
Of course they may face a 15 point deduction though (more likely to be 6 or 9) which would temporarily bring them back into the relgation scrap but I think they'd soon find themselves in the clear again, so would we prefer they keep losing and bring another team closer to us in case we do get a run together, or do we expect the current bottom 6 or 7 to be down there and the rest to be nowhere near relegation? |  | | |  |

All depends. If the authorities did their job and docked them 12 pts now, players will be looking at the window with a different perspective and it might lead to implosion over the coming weeks.
That said, as I said at the start of the season, if you're relying on another team getting docked to survive then you don't deserve to survive anyway. |  |

If they lose they will still be 13 points ahead of us. All the teams with 20 points or more will be far more anxious about Reading/Bolton/Millwall/Hull than us. The longer we go without winning matches in relative succession, the more the rest of the bottom half will only effectively worry about 2 relegation places.
On the 15 point ban, it should have been done months ago in order to still give them time to claw points back. The longer it goes on the more likely they will either be landed with a fine or a smaller points deduction. |  | | |
