This article is not solely Blues related, but instead, this is me airing my concerns on a nationwide scale. The game we love dearly has changed a lot over the years, but some things...just shouldn't change. Not now, not ever...

You fight. You battle. You win challenges and you force the opponents hand. You're on top, you boss the game...but all you could do was 'hold' the opponents to a draw, apparently.

It's a time honoured classic. When a big team draw with a smaller counterpart, any result that is not a resounding victory for the bigger team is seen as a shock. The big team, however they played, were 'held' by their opposition.

Oh dear, deadline day. Love it.

Negativity, nerves, tension. Can this new Blues side get things together after two poor performances? Yes, it is the results that count, but they've hardly set the world alight with their performances.
What now?
Where to now?

Bolton? A tremendous attacking display was matched only by the calamitous capitulation at the end...and we're back to square one.

N'Zogbia is set to sign, and Blues fans can once again raise their heads and fill their hearts with anticipation...oh...wait...nope, he's not coming, nevermind.

Now what?
