Birmingham City 2-1 Swansea City - the fans' verdict
[BBC] Birmingham City went top of the Championship on Saturday with their victory over Swansea [Press Association] We asked for your thoughts after Birmingham City beat Swansea City 2-1 at St Andrew's in the Championship. Victory for Blues was their seventh win in their past nine games and took them top of the table. Here are some of your comments: Brad: This season feels so different to last. More threat, stronger defensively and it looks like there's a genuine resilience. Cripes I'm hopeful! Anthony: I thought Birmingham played well without ever dominating against a very good Swansea side. It was a shame that one side had to suffer a sending-off as the game was building towards being a very interesting contest. I think Birmingham nearly paid the price for substituting two of their more influential players too early. Millar in particular was proving a real threat every time he received the ball. I was very relieved when the final whistle went to provide us with another victory. 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. Chris Davies has to take a lot of credit for his tactical changes at the right times during most recent games this season. I think two to three quality signings in the January transfer window and Birmingham could be on the verge of an automatic promotion slot. KRO. Mick: Top of the league says everything. Liam: Should have gone in 3-0 at half time. Second half didn't play with any rhythm to our passing. To be fair to Swansea they pressed really well with ten men. Stanno's goal was the icing on the cake to win it. It's a tough league and as results have shown anyone can beat anybody. KRO. 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. Good to see Jay back in the scoring mood. John: A win is a win, but they looked tired and their spark was missing. Chris has done a great job so far. I hope it will continue after the two-week break. KRO.
