BIRMINGHAM CITY VS WATFORD FC 16/2/13 KO 15:00 Match thread

Brum shoot wide after Vydra fouled, but not given.

Almunia has to make a good save. Good spell for the home side.

 

GFZ trying to gee the team up a bit. They have become rather too laid back.

 

Game gone quiet now with 10 mins left.

 

Vydra off, Hogg on

"..stadium rapidly emptying.."

 

Vydra coming off... Hogg on.

Brum win a corner. Cleared.

They are still trying to get a goal.

 

Abdi scores the fourth!!!

 

Watford 4-0 ABDI

 

ABDI makes it four!!!

"Watford have run riot"

 

Only Watford fans left in the ground.

4 added mins.

 

"Watford fans singing we're going up - nobody there to hear them"

 

Performance of the season? Fantastic stuff. Win away to Ipswich in mid-week and I think we have probably sealed a play-off spot, what do you reckon?

 

Arse 0-1 Blackburn.

Dammit - I am out of the sweep.

 

4-0 and could have been more.

 

Great result

And it didn't even sound as though we were in top gear.

 

Final Score: Brum 0 v 4 Watford

 

Nailed on now I think. The push for second spot is right on.

 

Leicester's goal difference doesn't look scary anymore.

"They" got battered, and all four of their main rivals for a Conference playoff place won today.

Franchise FC out of the cup with their star player sent off.

Shame that the teams around us won, but we looked the most convincing.

Finally a comment on Leicester. I know they have two games in hand, and if they win them both they're second on goal difference. Even so, it's just unbelievable that on Boxing Day they were fifth, they've been incredible since then, and they're still fifth.

 

Mmmmmmmmmmm - "easy" away game mid-week, after a comprehensive away performance - will GFZ have learnt from the last time?

 

SNN's Phil Thompson on Watford " First time I've had a look at them.......this is a good team"

The times they are a'changing.
