Birmingham Report

[ramAnag]

Another sort-of-convincing win on the march towards the top.

Surprise of the day 1: No Tomori. Apart from the Leeds match where I thought he was poor, and trying to kick the ball with his standing foot at Chelsea, I think he's done a great job and was actually disappointed to see Davies starting. Tomori will go far, regretably not likely with us

Surprise of the day 2: Duane Holmes. I didn't get to my seat til 2:59:59 so didn't hear the team announced, and as the two guys either side of me didn't know who number 23 was either I decided to just marvel at the newbies skill and direct nature. Only when subbed and given MoM did I find out, and I'd like to see a lot more of that fellah

Key Moment: Waghorn's injury. I'd take Bennett over Waghorn at the mo and so, unfortunately for Wag, I got my way. Bennett seems to want to squeeze the most out of the talent he has, one of which is actually defending, he again covered critically for Bogle a few times

My Man Of The Match: Tom Huddlestone. When all around are losing their heads...

Back To The Seventies moment: Ruckus after the game which seemed to involve one suspected Birmingham fan and fifty Derby 'heros', and took place on the bonnet of my pals brand new car. Tut tut.

Anyone?

May not have been utterly ‘convincing’ but it was a big, big win yesterday, imo, Andy.
No more ‘after the Lord Mayor’s show’, no more caving in when things go against us, no more ‘key player injured so forget it’ and Birmingham are, or were, the form side in the Championship as well as a bit of a Pride Park bogey team. COYR!

Agreed, yes all those things too. And I forgot, big tick in the box for Forsyth who assisted two of the goals with excellent delivery. I just keep thinking of positives
