Player ratings16 Nov 2026

Liam Millar runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 43. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad16 Nov 2026

A falling-out at Birmingham

Ibrahim Osman and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad16 Nov 2026

Yves Bissouma falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad16 Nov 2026

Birmingham lose Dylan Okpapi

18 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

No hiding place for Patrick Roberts

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Patrick Roberts, and the manager let it.

Squad16 Nov 2026

Too much change too quickly at Birmingham

5 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Richard Harris on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Richard Harris after the 0‑0 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

Match14 Nov 2026

Birmingham draw a blank against Millwall

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Millwall defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

August Priske knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Birmingham, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Carlos Vicente beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 47. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Market19 Oct 2026

Luis Vázquez wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Words exchanged at Birmingham

Yves Bissouma and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Birmingham lose Dylan Okpapi

53 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Match17 Oct 2026

Birmingham caught on 93 minutes

The board was up, the win was priced in, and then Preston scored. There is no worse minute to concede in and the ground emptied in the silence that follows one.

Squad19 Oct 2026

15 new faces, and Birmingham are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

Luis Vázquez takes the honours

Marked 7.74 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Birmingham had the best player on the pitch.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Jonathan Panzo gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match17 Oct 2026

Luis Vázquez rescues a point for Birmingham

It needed Luis Vázquez to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Preston, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.
