The wait goes on for Birmingham
7 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

A one-man rearguard from Blake Irow
There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

The scrutiny sharpens at Birmingham
Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Birmingham is running low.

Words at Birmingham training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nicolas Vouilloz is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Birmingham lose Daniel Cunningham
28 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.
