Key points
  • Roger: At a goal up and then against 10 men I thought the lads could have been a bit more ruthless, but credit to Swansea.
  • I think Birmingham nearly paid the price for substituting two of their more influential players too early.
  • To be fair to Swansea they pressed really well with ten men.

Anthony: I thought Birmingham played well without ever dominating against a very good Swansea side.

I think two to three quality signings in the January transfer window and Birmingham could be on the verge of an automatic promotion slot.

Additional details
  • It was a shame that one side had to suffer a sending-off as the game was building towards being a very interesting contest.
  • Chris Davies has to take a lot of credit for his tactical changes at the right times during most recent games this season.
  • Victory for Blues was their seventh win in their past nine games and took them top of the table.
  • Kevin: Blues are looking stronger and more solid and gelled as a team as the season progresses.
  • You can see the confidence the players now have in ball possession and distribution.
