Boss Paul Lambert admits the Blues have to start winning games soon with the season pressing on and Town bottom of the table, seven points plus goal difference from safety.

The Blues, who have 18 games in which to save their Championship status, were beaten 2-0 at Lambert’s former club Blackburn on Saturday and face another of his previous sides Aston Villa at Villa Park at the weekend.

“Football can kick you in the teeth when you are down like it did at Blackburn at the weekend,” he told the club site.

“That’s the game though. You can’t get too high or too low. You just have to go again and we will be doing that in training this week and on Saturday.

“The games are coming thick and fast and time is pressing on. We are trying everything we can to turn it around here but we have to start winning games.

“One hundred per cent we have to do that. We have to keep everyone onside and do everything we can to build up some momentum."

alanbrazil added 10:02 - Jan 23 Christ some people on here will moan at anything, Yes we are probably down but the rebuilding goes a lot more the on the field, Lambert has made a great start getting the fans back on board and behind the team, Yes the squad isn't good enough we know that the table don't lie but what can you get in January, don't want to sign people on big contracts and get relegated, Sears and chambers might not be good enough for this league that's everyone's opinion but they will do a job in league one and hopefully drag us back up, Elder for me is no better then kenlock, Bishop has been promising for years not delivered, right back has never been solved since Jewell was here, need a good summer transfer window to get a squad Lambert can work with the loan signings are just stop gaps for the sh*te Hurst signed
