Birmingham City 3 Burnley 3
By Burnley FC
March 12 2014
Burnley made it thirteen league games unbeaten in a six-goal thriller against Birmingham City at St Andrew's. The Clarets took the lead three times, but were pinned back on each occasion by a determined Blues side.

Dean Marney scored his third goal in the last seven games to put Burnley in front on the half-hour mark. Substitute Federico Macheda equalised for the Blues shortly after coming on in the second half before a beautiful header by Michael Duff – his first goal since Boxing Day 2012 – restored the Clarets’ advantage. However, Manchester City loanee Emyr Huws brought Birmingham back into level terms once again with a controlled strike from outside the box. Sam Vokes scored what seemed destined to be the winner with three minutes to go, but Macheda came up with the goods one more time in the fourth minute of stoppage time. Despite the draw, Burnley went back eight points clear in second place in the Championship table. Ross Wallace was handed his first start since August as Sean Dyche made one change to the team that achieved a historic win over local rivals Blackburn Rovers on Sunday. Meanwhile, the hosts lined up in a 4-1-4-1 formation. Burnley dominated from the early stages with Danny Ings particularly threatening on the break thanks to his pace. On 11 minutes, Kieran Trippier saw his first-time volley fly over the crossbar after a cleverly worked corner by the Clarets.

Quote:Burnley boss Sean Dyche has a fully fit squad available for the trip.
He could name the same starting team for the ninth match in a row as they bid to extend a 12-match unbeaten run.

Subs: Cisak, Stanislas, Barnes, Kightly, Treacy, Long, Edgar.
And on the Blues bench: Doyle, Martin, Caddis, Ibe, Rusnak, Macheda, Zigic.
Still, Dyche has always had a soft spot for Wallace.
Go on Ross, I love you after Sunday.

Still, shouldnt make much difference.
I just hope the long streak of Pi$$ Zigic stays sat on the bench.

The Ings situation doesn't sound good, hope Barnes is up for it.
Keep winning at home and pick up a few points away.

On the game itself I was disappointed we sat back and let Brum dominate injury time, just hoofing it anywhere and letting them build the pressure up. Blackburn could have scored three in injury time Sunday but we got away with it, same last night, they could have scored three in injury time as well, they just just kept on lumping the ball into our box and we just couldn't defend it, and this time we didn't get away with it.
Don't know the answer to it, and it seems Dyche doesn't either, but we're not good at defending the high ball into our box, it keeps on costing us.

If you can't beat Birmingham from that far down the league then you may as well give the Prem league a miss. 2nd in the league, what a clucking joke. Teams with ambition and quality win these games 5-0. Sack the skinhead! All these boards showing Burnley are happy with the point, Cluck the cluck off! Stay in this league, build the team , then, and only then when you're @#$%& OFF by drawing with Birmingham should you even think about wishing for promotion.
