0-0 is a real possibility because the pitch looks like something from an old WW1 movie...

Birmingham leading 1-0 at the half.  The goal was scored in the 45th minute. Come on Derby, even it up in de second half.

Birmingham 1-0 Derby 
 
Vine scored his first goal for Birmingham against Derby
Birmingham regained top spot in the Championship from Derby by beating their promotion rivals thanks to a goal from striker Rowan Vine.
Vine received a pass with his back to goal before turning and shooting into the bottom corner just on half-time.

But Birmingham suffered a setback when Gary McSheffrey was red-carded for a two-footed lunge on Dean Leacock after 72 minutes.

Derby pressed for an equaliser but the Blues resolutely held on for the win.

There was plenty of concern about the poor St Andrews pitch before the game but it proved better than expected and did not stop an open game.

Both sides had early sighters of goal, including a chance for Blues left-winger Gary McSheffrey.

He pounced on a Dean Leacock mistake only to be denied by on-rushing Rams keeper Stephen Bywater.

Bywater also came to his side's rescue when he spread himself well and saved with his foot after Nicolas Bendtner produced a burst of pace to give him space shoot.

Derby striker Steven Howard was a troublesome customer for the Blues defence with his aerial threat but it was his finesse which almost put them ahead.

He curled in a shot from 25 yards and was just wide with Blues keeper Colin Doyle scrambling across his goal to save.

The opening half looked set to end goalless but Vine produced a clinical piece of finishing for his first goal since his move to the club from Luton.

Birmingham held a disappointing Derby at arm's length and looked comfortable in the lead but McSheffrey's dismissal gave their opponents hope of salvaging something from the game.

Rams boss Billy Davies sent on striker Paul Peschosolido, who is married to Blues managing director Karren Brady, to boost his attack but they failed to break down a stubborn home defence.

Hmm, with Birmingham now 7 points clear of the 3rd and below teams, and with a game on which to gain points,  plus their upcoming games are against ``weak’’ teams, it seems as though one of the automatic spots might be locked up.
