We could see two Loanee's make their debut's today with Mike Williamson and Grant Holt both signing this week. We have lost our last three games while Blues lost 2-0 to Hull City last week so both sides will be looking to bounce back.

As you can see I have decided to put the head to head stats on the match thread post. No one ever posted on the head to heads so thought it best if I merge them together.

Another Match Fact. Jackett has faced Birmingham seven times as Manager and never won.

Afternoon all
I think Price will probably make an appearance at some point during the match Ivy. Having just seen Blues line up I think we could well struggle again today but will keep fingers crossed

3 early successful runs down the right wing by Blues. Better deliveries might have caused us a few problems

Decent bit of possession and attack from us there, good Henry cross and Williamson headed over whilst stretching for it

Gary Birtles is banging on that Blues should have had a penalty. Total nonesense, Donaldson slipped!!

Afobe isn't looking that sharp on the ball today. Twice he's had the opportunity to run and the ball seems to have bobbled off his shin, losing possession.

Byrne has made a good couple of runs so far. Decent curling shot, not tht far wide. At the other end, we are getting plenty of men defending and snuffing them out.

He put his hands on Batth first to push him away.

Henry is having a half decent match. Very positive on the wing. Kmac blazes over from 20 yards after a corner

Dangerous free kick following a poorly timed Batth challenge. 20 yards, but banged into the wall. Poor from Blues

Good first half. Afobe seems lost out on his own up front.

As I said, so far we're comfortable.
As for the match itself, well how can I put it, 'not one for the neutral'.

Afobe plays so much better when he has somebody closer to play off. I hope this is an away tactic from KJ.
Just seen the goal replay, it's Paul Robinson who made the defensive error

Had to put the game on hold but now live. Agree with Ivy we are containing Blues better than expected.
I'm getting frustrated by Golbourne's antics of falling down every time there's a player near him.
Batth still having lapses too,but so far so good!

Agreed about Williamson. Nothing spectacular, just solid.
Really poor play from Kmac gives a dangerous free kick but yet again a pathetic Blues free kick effort into the wall

Best passage of play in the match, a really good Blues chance breaks down to a breakaway with a great save to deny Kmac from 20 yards. Unfortunately the Henry corner was abject

Afobe wastes a good chance. He's having an off day. Straying offside, poor finishing, ball control issues. He'll probably score now!

Ojo's another one who keeps falling over looking for free kicks - disappointing! Holt on for Afobe

A lifeless injury time is over.

Great win, albeit in a below par clash.
