# Birmingham: Fans react to failed Maddison rumours

**Birmingham City earned a good win for themselves at the weekend in the Sky Bet Championship as they beat Nottingham Forest 2-1 at St Andrew’s.**

The Blues will be looking to finish as high as possible this season and ensure that they are not dragged into a battle at the bottom.

Beating Forest, then, showed what they can do when they are at their best and fans will hope they can use that as a springboard for the rest of the season.

Of course, we are now out of the transfer window and Pep Clotet will have to work with what he has got until the summer.

Marcus Maddison, of course, ended up not joining the club and instead went on loan to Hull with the [Birmingham Mail](https://t.co/8ttZ6mC3bd) reporting on Darragh MacAnthony’s comments that underlined the attacking midfielder dragged out the move to the Blues over wages – before the club pulled out:
