One point won't be enough, and yet again this Wolves team showed promise only to predictably throw the game away in a dreadfully lame ten minute defensive display.

This was a must win game, and with Leicester and Man City acrimoniously drawing the day before the door to Premiership survival was slightly ajar (albeit any one bad result from now on could slam the door shut).

Emboldened by the way his surprising decision to include Okoronkwo had worked out, Dave Jones mysteriously included Luzhny (far from the fan's favourite) in the starting line-up. Although I later found out that Clyde was injured and Irwin was ill. Two seasons ago Dave Jones described the ref in the Norwich play-off away leg as "a little tug-boat" - well this season DJ's got his own little tug-boat in the shape of Oleg Luzhny.

At the other end it was good to see that the on-fire striking duo of Cort and Camara started again. Cameron kept his place ahead of the probable player-of-the-season (but soon to be Rangers player) Rae.

Wolves started brightly with Camara again giving the opposition defence the run-around. Camara was involved in the three-man move that ended with Cameron curling a beautiful shot round Maik Taylor and into the back of the net. Birmingham 0 Wolves 1 after only six minutes. Surely our quickest goal this season?

The three Cs - Cameron, Camara and Cort - have all found their Premiership feet, but in all likelihood it is much too late for Wolves. Camara almost made it six goals in six games when Cameron set him clear but Clapham (another C) did well to take the ball off him

Wolves were looking up for the game and we began thinking maybe, just maybe this could be our first Premiership away win. But Hoping against hope never really works for Wolves. Even before the inevitable spate of comical defending, Clemence should have done better after he skipped past Naylor, but he sidefooted wide.

Blues fans didn't have long to wait however because on 34 minutes Forssell escaped the attentions of the whole back line, latching onto Upson's free kick, rounding Jones and slotting the ball into the empty net. Birmingham 1 Wolves 1

Ten minutes later the last bit of hope was squeezed out of Wolves as, just before half time, Morrison made no mistake from a Forsell through ball. Birmingham 2 Wolves 1 and Savage still had the time to hit the post before the break.

At least Brum had put us out of our misery early instead of waiting until the final ten minutes of the game. The goals had knocked the stuffing out of Wolves again, and every match the players must be fearing the inevitable goal flurry that the opposition will get.

The game ambled along with Wolves under pressure but not conceding a goal. Then - against the run of play - Cort equalised for Wolves when Taylor spilled Kennedy's freekick and the tall £2 million striker was there to poach another goal Birmingham 2 Wolves 2. Three goals in four Premiership matches is not bad, and makes you wonder what would have happened if Cort had been fit when he joined us. But he wasn't so that's that.

This was a signal for both teams to go for it (with Birmingham looking for a UEFA cup place) and incredibly DJ brought on Miller, meaning that Wolves had 4 strikers on the pitch (having earlier brought on Ganea). Newton had earlier switched to right back, with the barrel-chested Luzhny finally tug-boating his way off the pitch. Desperate stuff, but is it the desperation of an under-funded weak squad or the desperation of a clue-less manager?

Painfully, this was our last realistic chance of an away win and we threw it away. Why our defence can't concentrate for the whole 90 minutes is anyone's guess, but they will need to learn for next year's Coca Cola League challenge.
