Birmingham City 0 – Cardiff City 4

Disappointing day at St Andrews as an experienced Cardiff side overwhelmed a disjointed mish-mash of a Blues side.

Derby County 1 – Birmingham City 2

Safe! A stirring second half comeback turned things around at Pride Park as Blues second half display grabbed the three points needed to ensure survival in the Championship.

Birmingham City 1 – Nottingham Forest 1

Won’t detain you long with a instantly forgettable game where Blues had two points snatched away from them by a dubious penalty decision by a ref who made up seven minutes of injury time in a second half of very few stoppages.

Rotherham United 0 – Birmingham City 1

Got away with one here. But who cares as Blues virtually sealed their place in the division. The worst and the most Karanka-like performance of the Bowyer reign saw a huge win to stretch the lead over Rotherham to nine points with games running out.

Birmingham City 2 – Stoke City 0

Three home wins on the bounce, three clean sheets in a row. Blues continued to ease themselves away from the relegation zone with what turned out to be a comfortable win against a limited Stoke side.

Brentford 0 – Birmingham City 0

A well-earned point on the road against automatic promotion chasing Brentford enhanced Blues chances of beating the drop.

Birmingham City 1 – Swansea 0

A massive three points for Blues in a match high on endeavour but low on quality.

Birmingham City 2 – Reading 1

Proper Blues are back. Fight and commitment won the three points here against a technically better Reading side who, though dominating possession, particularly in the second half, didn’t really trouble Etheridge unduly.

Birmingham City 0 – Bristol City 3

A horror of a performance from Blues, as Bristol City had to do very little to run out easy winners at the Trillion Trophies etc. Change is clearly needed, and it needs to come soon. If it doesn’t we’re going down, as simple as that.

Huddersfield Town 1 – Birmingham City 1

Honours even in a game desperately short on quality from both teams. The usual Frazer Campbell goal was cancelled out minutes later by a Marc Roberts blast from two yards after a Sanchez corner. Apart from that, and a little bit of Halilvoic and Bela, this was instantly forgettable stuff.
