Birmingham City v Wolves: Relive our live blog.
Apr 9 2009
Relive the action from the big live derby match on Monday night. Here's how our Live blog unfolded...
| 8:42 |
David Higgerson: Carsley made impact on the side of the knee, according to the replays. One of those replays which makes you shut your eyes. |

[Comment From Barry, Birmingham]
There are 2 ways for blues, either would be good and they are to go for a win or keep wolves at bay with a draw. |

[Comment From FRED FLINTSTONE]
BOUT TIME SOMETHING BIZZARE WENT OUR WAY |
| 8:42 |
[Comment From Kyle]
Three games on the trot that Cam has bagged a goal. Well done |
| 8:42 |
Andy W at St Andrew\'s: Interesting to see what McLeish does at half-time now after that late, late first-half goal. |
| 8:43 |
Andy W at St Andrew\'s: He may sacrifice Phillips but I suspect that he was considering Jerome before that effort was bundled home. Lets wait and see. |
| 8:43 |
Who will score next?
Blues
( 86% )Wolves
( 14% )

[Comment From California Blue]
KEEP ATTACKING , BEST FORM OF DEFENSE & ALL THAT |
| 8:44 |
[Comment From keith in cornwall]
we must keep attacking |
| 8:44 |
[Comment From Barry, Birmingham]
Jerome is always a favourite to score first for Blues :) |
| 8:45 |
[Comment From FRED FLINTSTONE ]
WE GOT TO WEATHER THE STORM FOR 10 MINS AT THE BEGINNING OF 2ND HALF THEN GO FOR THE 2ND THEY'LL COME OUT ALL GUNS BLAZING 2ND HALF WOLVES WILL |
| 8:45 |
[Comment From No sugar In mine thanks ]
Wouldn't sacrifice Jerome. His pace is the only thing we have had going for us attack-wise. Breaking at speed is going to be even more important now down to 10. Reluctantly would be Phillips for me. |
| 8:47 |
[Comment From keith in cornwall ]
hope everyone is enjoying halftime pie and bovril mrs just bought me large red in to settle me down bless |
| 8:47 |

[Comment From Kyle ]

| 8:47 |
[Comment From FRED FLINTSTONE ]
ID KEEP JEROME ON FOR ABOUT 20 MINS AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS |
| 8:47 |
[Comment From FRED FLINTSTONE ]

| 8:50 |
[Comment From FRED FLINTSTONE]
THINK O'CONNOR WOULD GET US ONE |

[Comment From andrew w]

| 8:50 |
[Comment From Jimlad]
Logged on in Austria. Lets go home now. With 3 points of course. |
| 8:50 |
[Comment From Jose (spain)]
Another goal would not hurt, we can sit on then for a bit |
| 8:50 |
[Comment From john s.africa]

| 8:50 |
[Comment From Lisa, North London]

| 8:51 |
[Comment From Lisa, North London]

| 8:51 |
[Comment From keith in cornwall]
tatts your spectrum seems to be behaving tonight had it serviced |
| 8:51 |
[Comment From andrew w]
according to claridge on 5 live, we won't miss a man in midfield because we just bypass it anyway! |
| 8:52 |
[Comment From keith in cornwall]

| 8:52 |
[Comment From New Zealand Blues]

BLUES BLUES BLUES BLUES |
| 8:54 |
Andy W at St Andrew\'s: Just had another look at replays of the talking points - never any doubt in Carsley's red card and weak goalkeeping from Hennessey for the goal, if he had stood his ground then he might have stood a better chance of keeping that Jerome bundle out |
| 8:54 |
[Comment From No sugar In mine thanks]
Let's give a bit of credit to a referee for once. He has been erratic, but I can't think too many of them wouldn't have given the keeper a soft free kick for that goal |
| 8:54 |
[Comment From FRED FLINTSTONE]
WELL |

SUGAR |
| 8:55 |
[Comment From kangoopete]
just joined suppose most agree that caesley tackle diabolical |
| 8:55 |
Andy W at St Andrew\'s: Looks like Jerome may have been sacrificed |
| 8:55 |
Mat Kendrick: Probably get crucified by Wolves fans for this but I feel sorry for Carsley. He's a competitor but would never set out to maim someone. Horrible horrible horrible foul. Just hope Iwelumo makes a speedy recovery |
| 8:55 |
Andy W at St Andrew\'s: Sorry - my eyes decieved me |
| 8:56 |
Andy W at St Andrew\'s: Phillips for McFadden |
| 8:56 |
[Comment From No sugar In mine thanks]
I cannot believe 77% of you think Blues will score next. How much have you drunk?? |
| 8:56 |
Andy W at St Andrew\'s: Hill off for Jarvis |
| 8:57 |
Andy W at St Andrew\'s: We're off...... |
| 8:57 |
[Comment From andrew w]
that's better! makes sense if you think about it...mcfadden might just turn the game... |
| 8:57 |
[Comment From California Blue]
Just 1 cup of tea :) |
| 8:57 |
[Comment From Barry, Birmingham]
ANDY W - Which do you think is the biggest threat out of Jerome / Phillips now that Blues has got a goal up? |
| 8:57 |
[Comment From keith in cornwall]
other way round andy |
| 8:57 |
Mat Kendrick: See you then Andy, going early to miss the traffic? |
| 8:57 |
[Comment From Lisa, North London]
ive drunk water...... |
| 8:57 |
[Comment From Kyle]
Like that move. Will Blues push Fahey inside and play McFadden on wide left? Or play him off Jerome? |
| 8:58 |
Andy W at St Andrew\'s: Blues' Youth Cup hero Luke Hubbins taking his seat for the second-half just up from us. |
| 8:58 |
[Comment From FRED FLINTSTONE]
NO WAY FADDY WONT SCORE HES NOT INTERESTD AINT BEEN ALL SEASON |
| 8:58 |
[Comment From Jimlad]
Long 45 minutes coming up. Unless we score 3 quick goals. |
| 8:58 |
[Comment From keith in cornwall]
im on me 2nd large glass but its not enough to cloud my judgement 2-0 |
| 8:58 |
Colin Tattum: McFadden to drift to the left in a 4-4-1, other three midfielders will tuck in, Fahey more central |
| 8:59 |
Mat Kendrick: Hubbins in the stand, Craddock on the pitch. Is this a OAP Women's Institute convention or a football match? |
| 8:59 |
Andy W at St Andrew\'s: Barry - Well Phillips needs somebody to work off ideally, Jerome can run into corners but just needs to keep hold of the ball - the reason why McFadden has been brought on. |
| 9:00 |
[Comment From FRED FLINTSTONE]
AND YES I KNOW HES BEEN INJURED BUT HES NOT BEEN THAT GOOD WHEN HES FIT JUST DIS INTERESTED |
| 9:00 |
[Comment From andrew w]

[Comment From Barry, Birmingham]
No Sugar - we are drinking the wolves blood :) |
| 9:00 |
[Comment From Jose (spain)]
81% now |
| 9:01 |
Colin Tattum: Ward to left-back for Wolves, Jarvis wide right |
| 9:01 |
Mat Kendrick: Anybody watching on Sky? What did Trevor had to say about the sending off at half time? |
| 9:01 |
David Higgerson: Tatts- you've just been namechecked on Five Live for your opinion on the football pitch |
| 9:01 |
Colin Tattum: It's a protect and survive job for Blues now, going to have to get in and stay in their shape constantly |
| 9:01 |

You're all mad. |
