From ‘Still bang in trouble’ to ‘I’ll take it’ – Plenty of Nottingham Forest fans react at Birmingham City result

A game between Birmingham City and Nottingham Forest was usually one of those fixtures that got the blood pumping and passions rising.

Even without fans inside the grounds, you’d expect some sort of passion around this fixture. However with Birmingham City 19th in the Sky Bet Championship table and Forest just a place above them, it was a bit of a wet squib of a game.

With three games left, both sides could be dragged down if teams below them perform – it’s unlikely they will be though.

It was a dour game that never really threatened to explode into any kind of spectacle. It’s the end of a tiring season, both sides had nothing really to aim at other than Championship survival.

It was the home side Blues who took the lead early in the second half. Marc Roberts (49′) scored his third goal of the season to put Birmingham in front.

It looked as though it would end that way as regulation time ticked away. However, nearing the end of time added on, Forest snatched what was an unlikely point when Lewis Grabban (90’+8) converted a very late penalty to see out the game as a 1-1 draw.
