That looked like a game too far. What there is, we're running out of it. Gas, ideas, plan B, time, games. I don't particularly view that as negative. It's just the way it is. I wasn't paying particular attention. It was well into the first half before I realised we'd gone in with only one striker. Actually, that's not a bad way of getting Duffy into the team. But, we're at the shit or bust bit of the season. So, that looks a bit flat.

There was very little by way of overlapping & pushing forward. Just when we didn't need it, we became a Shape Team for the day. But, we nicked the early goal. In many years to come. When we can remember the general picture. But not the details. This season will feel like a Trivia Question. “Which team took a 1-0 lead in every game?”

Birmingham is a great place for a Craft Beer Drink. Amongst many other things, if you catch the tram, and get off at The Jewellery Quarter, it's only a quid. We hit 1000 Trades, Burning Soul Brewery & Tilt. Tilt is a pinball themed beer bar in the centre. Looking back at my log made eyewatering reading. An 8%, a 7.5, 7.3 & 7.2. It's been a long old season.

I had the White Stout debate with the brewer at Burning Soul. I should leave well alone. Because I “get’ Black IPAs. White Stout is just the reverse, ain't it? I was a touch disappointed with this one. The whole point would seem to be to get some toast, smoke, roast through into the final glass. To confuse the issue, this one was a coffee added affair. Basically a cup of coffee. A nice cup of coffee, mind.
