by Chris Stanton, 12 May 2008
Check out our player ratings and Opta match stats from Birmingham's final match of the season at home to Blackburn.
Birmingham defeated Rovers 4-1, with David Murphy, Cameron Jerome and Fabrice Muamba sharing the goals, but it mattered not one jot and Blues were relegated by victories for Fulham and Derby.
Morten Gamst Pedersen had levelled for a disappointing Blackburn side, who nevertheless end the season in seventh.
