Match Commentary

-
The pressure increases on Villas-Boas, however; the replay provides another fixture they could do without given the Champions League has restarted. There can be no confidence in him staying at the club without a dramatic turnaround
-
I must confess I wasn't sure about Hughton despite what he did in getting Newcastle promoted; they had a very good squad. But at Birmingham that isn't the case and he's doing a genuinely good job there
-
However, for all of the pressure on Chelsea and Villas-Boas, Birmingham were impressive today
