Went to the game last night it were cold!! We started like a train straight out for burnley it looked like we could seriously do them over, then they battered us for about half an hour and to be honest stood there I thought it was going to be another typical blues away day!!
But we got the the second goal at a perfect time and just knocked all burnleys confidence and enegry out of them, it was a good performance and a good 6 points in 2 away games!
Doncaster, Burnley, Palace and west ham 3 away games I'd have probably took 6, 7 points especially with our recent away form, but we've gone and got 6 out of the 6 so far which is fantastic.
Palace on saturday is probably more important than west ham in my opinion its looking difficult to get second now so its vital we win our remaining home games and that should see us in the play offs. I expect a few changes with the west ham game been 48 hours later and wouldnt mind seen the europa league team start the game, palace seem to be winding down now and they seem to be on holiday with not much chance of relegation!
I think its written in the stars for a blues v west ham play off final imagine!, rich v poor, hoof ball v football and dont forget there trio of owners.....
Last Night

Late on parade today but here are my thoughts on some of the points.
Cracking result last night, as I stated yesterday I said i would have been happy with a draw. To get the win when we went behind like we did was brilliant. The players performed really well to come back when they looked out on their feet and it looked like another Leicester and Pompey.
As for second, with my realistic head on I would say no chance, that has gone now and lets just concentrate on staying in the top six. My football head says we can do it. Reading have a tough run and CH is God which means he can perform miracles!
For me a Wembley date with West Ham looks written in the stars, it would be great if we won that final but imagine the heart ache of losing that final and Sullivan and Golds smug face's.
Looking forward to the end of season now, Brighton is booked up, west ham is not as it is a stupid kick off and its on TV and i think I might need the money for a weekend in London!
