Is that the game we lost 1-0 when McSheffrey scored for them and it was a real early kick off on a Sunday morning[11 or half 11 kick off]?

Remember getting a national express coach from Banbury to that game, and we were shocked that the bar was open at half ten when we got onto the concourse. So naturally we took advantage. A boring game if I remember rightly, one of our notorious not many efforts on target games. Doyle was their keeper, his first game it may have been as well, seem to remember a discussion that we didn't test him enough. And whilst writing this I have a recollection of him pulling off one fine save. |

Stoke 0 Birmingham 0
By Graham Chase, PA Sport
Click here for full match stats
Stoke goalkeeper Steve Simonsen pulled off an impressive penalty save from Mikael Forssell to earn his side a draw against Birmingham.
It was a poor game that only really got going when Stoke's Dave Brammer tripped Fabrice Muamba in the box in the 58th minute.
But Forssell, who scored the only goal of the game from the spot at Sunderland in midweek, saw his penalty stopped by Simonsen and the danger was cleared.
The Potters battled away all afternoon but never really looked like breaking the deadlock.
And although Birmingham improved as the second half wore on, they will have to produce much more to earn an immediate return to the Premiership.
There were early free-kicks at each end - with Peter Sweeney hitting the wall and Birmingham's Sebastian Larsson firing over - but it was a tight and physical start.
The visitors were happy to bide their time, allowing the Potters the majority of possession and territory.
While Stoke were always positive in their play there was little quality service for Mamady Sidibe and Vincent Pericard and apart from Luke Chadwick crossing from the right for Sweeney to head over, few opportunities were carved out.
Sweeney had another long-ranger blocked and Brammer did not worry Birmingham goalkeeper Maik Taylor with a weak header and a strike from 25 yards that lacked power after Stephen Kelly's poor clearance.
A long ball from Clint Hill found Sidibe in the right channel but his effort lacked conviction and was another routine save for Taylor.
Bruce's side were rarely getting out of their own half but when Larsson fed in-field for Forssell, Stoke skipper Michael Duberry did enough to ensure that Simonsen simply collected the ball.
And shortly before the break, Bruce was being urged to 'Sort it out' by his own fans.
The same pattern continued after the interval but the game came to life just before the hour.
David Dunn had replaced Larsson and fed midfielder Muamba inside the area only for the Arsenal man's run to be halted by Brammer's trip.
However, Simonsen went the right way to keep out Forssell's weak penalty and then got up to make a second save.
That seemed to spark Stoke and they quickly saw Pericard cross for Sweeney to drag disappointingly wide before Taylor did well to block a Sidibe header from close-range.
The introduction of Dunn certainly spurred the visitors on and they started to make more of a contribution but that never translated into creating chances.
The closest they came was a deep free-kick from substitute Neil Danns but Kelly headed into the side-netting.
Sweeney was thwarted by Taylor with a 30-yard free-kick that was pushed wide when it was bound for the top corner and the game ended a drab stalemate.

The Chadwick-Brammer-Russell-Sweeney midfield had everything didn't it.
If you took the dribbling skills of Chadwick, the occasional long-range piledrivers of Brammer, the stamina of Russell and the sweet left foot of Sweeney, you could have a decent player.
As it was, Chadwick always fell over before he got the chance to dribble, Brammer's one-per-season netbursters were overshadowed by his sad battle with obesity, Russell never quite mastered the ability to touch the ball with any part of his body other than his shin, and Sweeney spent more time on the Chicago Rock Café dance floor than he did on the pitch.

Always seems to remember Chadwick could never complete a full 90 minutes? Used to be subbed off around the 60/70th mark.
