The summer inquest will begin – for some it already has and the club may
Finishing with a flourish
Small beer in the grand scheme of things, but it’s important that Blues finish this season with a flourish. They moved into 10th place following midweek victory over Preston North End. And should they stay there after the last two matches, it would be the club’s highest finish in a decade. Gary Rowett’s Blues ended 10th in 2014/15 and 2015/16, on 63 points.
