Birmingham City season review – 20/21

Something strangely familiar in the most unique of seasons.

Blackburn Rovers 5 – Birmingham City 2

The strangest of seasons came to an end at Ewood Park as an experimental Blues were overwhelmed by a Blackburn side who made their greater experience count in the last twenty minutes.

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.
