At the moment but we are entering the last furlong dependent on 1 result at home to Burnley.

the last furlong and how we end up doing is dependent on 8 results not 1 - so arguably winnable games v Brum, QPR, Charlton, Fulham, Forest as well as those tough games on paper v the top 6 (Burnley, Derby, Boro) .
Bit rash to say everything is dependent on the home match next week. And equally rash to dismiss the form of a team with 8 wins and 1 defeat in 12 as bound to now recede in the remaining 8 games because we couldn't land Glenn Murray or as you put it "made a mistake", "diminished" our chances of automatic all because the club haven't "learnt anything", were "reluctant to spend" and are trying to get promoted "on the cheap".

Nicely done.

No we're not
I reckon our results away at Brum and Forest could be the most crucial. Drawing, even losing at home to Burnley might not be critical but winning those 2 could put us in pole position, with hopefully nothing to play for at Boro

Hughton's full quote via http://www.theargus.co.uk/sport/143...cy_loan_transfer_window_shuts_with_a_whimper/
"You have a responsibility to get the squad to the best level you can. That's why there is always an interest when something could happen, but it's always very difficult.
"If I look at the acquisitions we made in January, I'm delighted with where we are at this stage.
"Sometimes it gives you a little bit of clarity once the window closes.
"Everyone knows what they are fighting for and everybody knows what we've got."
Naylor points out that only Birmingham did striker business signing Kyle Lafferty from Norwich
He's played only 3 times (from the bench) this season. Leeds were after him in January but it didn't happen.

Just hope BZ can last longer than 20 mins and no other striker suffers hamstring problems.

Given the number of users on here, I thought there'd be a good statistical chance that at least one NSCer would have a daughter called Kayla as I was writing it.

Don't wait for me!
I lost days on the Bolanos and the other Boca Jnr bloke I've already forgotten the name of, but not once did I think we'd sign another loan striker. It just didn't make sense.

Really... So you know better than the manager, chairman and everyone else involved with the club. We are doomed as we haven't got FIVE strikers to pick from!

My son and 3 friends were with Glenn Murray this afternoon for a kids coaching 1 off after school.
My wife asked him straight out in her cheeky manner, 'so, when are you coming to Bhafc?'
He looked her straight in the eye and laughed in a non revealing way....
They all went to Nandos afterwards, only for Glenn to walk through the door 10 minutes later... The Mrs Made him laugh as she said to him 'it's ok, I know the deadline has passed, I won't ask you again.'.

No, he isn't.
He was at Blatchington Mill School for a Charity football event for kids this afternoon.
I'm guessing Eddie isn't impressed that he is up for coming back to us...
