Eight days to go.

The highly anticipated second city derby is just eight days away and we now know that Blues will be just six points ahead of Aston Villa.

Following Blues’ dismal defeat at Burton Albion, Steve Bruce’s Villa beat Fulham by a solitary goal to nil, cutting the points gap in half.

I fear for Blues. Not meaning to be a pessimist, but I’d snap your hands off for a point now. Bruce has them organised, they have been sucking the life out of their game before nicking a winner. They have momentum whereas Blues’ has dissapeared.

Motivation shouldn’t be a problem. If you need help getting yourself fired up for a derby, you shouldn’t be a footballer. But I fear the worst with Blues defending as poorly as they are.

The build up will be fantastic. The banter will be excellent. But the moment I walk out of the Emerald Club and into St. Andrews, I will have my fingers crossed and hope it isn’t a depressing Sunday afternoon.
