Nottingham Forest 0 – Birmingham City 0
There are games which live long in the memory – cup finals won with 25-yard bicycle kicks, last-minute tap-ins to topple giants, unlikely great escape saviours deep in injury time. But, truth be told, the majority of the games are unremarkable. This was one of those, probably best filed under, ‘Instantly Forgettable’.
Birmingham City 1 – Middlesbrough 4
And it all started so well. Blues fell to pieces allowing a Middlesbrough side to not have to do very much to take home a resounding win. Like at Cardiff the other night, most fingers will be pointed at the defence, this time with added goalkeeping blunders thrown in for good measure.
Cardiff City 3 – Birmingham City 2
Another game on the treadmill that is the Championship at the moment resulted in Blues falling to defeat to the odd goal in five in an eventful, roller-coaster kind of a game at the Cardiff City stadium.
Birmingham City 0 Watford 1
Blues fell to a disappointing defeat, conceding a late, contentious penalty in a generally dull game at the Trillion etc.
Reading 1 Birmingham City 2
Blues continued their miraculous revival as they took three points home from Berkshire. They were indebted to a fine Neil Etheridge penalty save as the ref tried his best to rob us of the victory that a very slick first half warranted.
Bristol City 0 Birmingham City 1
An excellent and well-deserved win for Blues at their happy hunting ground of Ashton Gate in Bristol.
Birmingham City 1 Barnsley 2
A fair result as the Tykes took the three points home to Yorkshire after yet another bitterly disappointing evening at St Andrew’s.
Birmingham City 0 Milwall 0
Much like the weather, this was dull and hard to see.
Coventry City 0 Birmingham City 0
Well, we didn’t lose. That’s about the best you can say about it as Blues played out a bore draw against the tenants. If you were looking for excitement, you came to the wrong place.
Blues 1 Bournemouth 3
Blues fell to a second successive home defeat to a far superior Bournemouth side, but made a better fight of it than it looked likely when they trailed three-nil shortly after the break.
