Groundhog day for Blues boss

Birmingham boss Alex McLeish believes the Championship run-in is similar to Albion's see-saw title finale last season.

The Baggies pipped Stoke by two points to go up in 2007/08 and were six ahead of the play-offs.

The Blues boss believes that could be a sign of things to come.

He said: "Albion were generally regarded as the best team in the league and it panned out that way last season, but it was topsy-turvy.

"They were first one week, the next week they were fourth. It was a topsy-turvy top six or seven, even at this time last year.

"We still have it in our own hands, that's the key."
