Blues Preview vs Blackburn Rovers (A)

Last Saturday saw Birmingham City’s unbeaten home record fall to Bristol City – a rather uninspiring performance for everyone involved. It proved to be a missed opportunity to gain points on those play-off places. Monk and his coaching staff will no doubt look for a response from his squad, and that is something you can…

Blues Preview vs Bristol City (H)

It’s back to St Andrews this Saturday and Birmingham are coming off back to back wins as well as back to back clean sheets – impressive when you consider they’ve shipped 10 goals in four games before that. The Blues have managed to go back to what Garry Monk thrives on his team to be…

Back To Being Blues

When you lose such a big derby game it can feel like the end of the world, especially when you know you were a matter of inches away from a completely different game altogether. It could have been a real knock to the confidence and momentum built by the lads so far this season, but…

Blues Preview vs Preston North End (H)

Well it’s back to being Blues after a proper gutsy and determined performance in South Bermondsey. The Den has proved to be a hard place to travel this season, but Birmingham seemed to relish the opportunity. It only took 10 minutes to get ourselves in front thanks to some neat work from Che Adams who’s…

Blues Preview vs Millwall (A)

Well another year goes by and it’s another annual loss in B6, but the players showed something that we haven’t seen for a long time and that’s fight and pride in wearing the shirt. Yes the result could have been very different and it was an afternoon of defensive frailties from both sides, yes the…

Blues Preview vs Villa (A)

Enjoy the international break everyone? Whether you enjoyed the England game against Croatia, The UEFA Nations League is irrelevant now because its back to business and time for one of the best derbies in English football – Birmingham City vs Aston Villa. The day Birmingham comes to a grinding halt…as well as the Staffordshire and…

Top 5 Second City Derby Moments

The international break is will and truly underway and club football has been put on hold. This gives me a great opportunity to write something a bit different than a standard preview or an opinion on the current outgoings at St.Andrews. Instead I’m going to be looking at the top five moments of my lifetime…

Blues Preview vs Hull City (H)

Well Blues fans the unbeaten run has came to an end, but what a run it was! From the highs of Leeds United away to Juke grabbing three at home against Rotherham and who could forget that away day at Stoke City. We were brought back down to reality last weekend against Derby and I…

Blues Preview vs Derby (A)

It’s four wins on the bounce and 11 unbeaten for Garry Monk’s Blue and White army and the feel good factor is well a truly around the club at the moment. Birmingham dispatched Sheffield Wednesday 3-1 at home last weekend after a very poor first half an hour where we could have been trailing by…

Altitude Sickness

Who would have thought little old Small Heath would be 11 games unbeaten this season – especially after the EFL decided to do everything they could to derail our season. Well we are and we’re up to 9th in the league and only two points off the play-offs having won four games in a row….

Blues vs Sheffield Wednesday Preview

10 games unbeaten, 3 wins a row and only a point off the play-offs – not bad for a team who were only able to sign 5 players under certain restrictions is it? Tuesday night capped one of many fantastic performances so far this season for Garry Monk’s Blues and it showed the true togetherness…

Garry Outwits Gary.

Blues vs Stoke is always a fiercely contested game and the fans have a lot of history with each other over the years, but yesterday’s game had even more spice added to it with former manager Gary Rowett at the helm of the Potters. Going into the game Stoke were clear favourites and so they…

Blues Preview vs Reading (H)

What a wonderful feeling it is waking up on a dreaded Monday Morning knowing your side did the business on the weekend. I can guarantee every Blues fan is walking into Work, School/College and Uni with a sense of satisfaction of how things are going on the pitch for us at the minute.  We can’t…

Blues vs Stoke Preview

After what feels like a lifetime; Club Football is finally back. Ahead of us we have a tough trip to the Bet365 Stadium to battle with former manager Gary Rowett.  The feel good factor is well and truly around St Andrews at the moment and so it should be. We have a fine young manager…

Blues Preview vs Rotherham (H)

Strength in adversity is an important thing in football and this current Blues team have it in abundance. Tuesday night saw Blues take on high scoring Brentford in what’s dubbed as “The Harlee Dean Derby” by those from West London, but was it really “Cheer up Harlee Dean?” In short no it wasn’t because Blues…

Blues Preview vs Brentford

Another game gone by and another draw for Garry Monk’s Blues – we’ve now equalled the total amount of draws from last season.  A stat you can make of what you will. I’m trying to look at the bigger picture. Yes we probably should be in the top six if we could convert those draws…

Blues Preview vs Ipswich Town

Got over the weekend yet? I don’t think I have. The feeling of getting that first win is such a relief, but to do it against a team that were unbeaten so far and in their own backyard is something to be admired. The Blues have finally got a result that they deserved and in…

Leeds 1-2 Birmingham: Groundhog Day Part 2

I can’t believe I’m here writing this, but it’s actually happened. At the 9th attempt, Birmingham City have finally won a game of football, something that seemed virtually impossible despite playing almost every side we’ve come up against off the park. If you told me it would have come against unbeaten and top of the…

Birmingham Preview vs Leeds United

Another game gone and another article where I feel I could copy and paste the introduction of any previous preview with the Blues not getting what their performance deserved. You’re starting to get the feeling that Garry Monk will need to re-enact the late great Barry Fry by visiting each corner of the St Andrews…

Blues Preview vs Blades

There are many great mysteries in the world yet to be unsolved; Who was Jack the Ripper? Does Bigfoot exist? Why was Stonehenge created? Another one of those mysteries is how have Birmingham City not won a game of football yet? Friday night was another instalment in the latest hard-luck story that is our season…

Groundhog Day

Friday evening saw the first league meeting of Birmingham City vs West Bromwich Albion for 7 years and a crucial game for both teams for different reasons. Blues v Albion will never be the fiercest Midlands derby and I don’t believe anyone has ever said it is either, however there’s nothing quite like getting one…

Blues Preview vs Baggies

So we’ve had just under 2 weeks to digest and review our first 6 games of the new season, are we ready to get back into it? Regardless of your answer it’s time for Club Football to take centre stage once again and what better way to do it with being under the lights at…

Fines, Embargo’s And Points Deductions.

The football might be on hold in the Championship this week, but that doesn’t stop the soap opera that is Birmingham City from conjuring up another episode for us fans. In what is meant to be a reasonably quiet week for club football has turned into quiet a busy one for everyone concerned at Blues…

An Afternoon To Forget For Blues

Birmingham City vs QPR isn’t really a fixture that screams out when you look down the list of 3pm games on Saturday, but it had potential to be a real good match up with both teams looking to put some much needed points on the board and go into the international break on a high….

Cause For Concern At Blues?

Yesterday marked five games without a win, following a bitterly disappointing 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest. If you asked Blues fans before the game if they’d have taken a point they’d have bit your hand off, but to throw away a 2-0 lead to end up with a draw? Not so much.  Twitter is a…

Blues Preview vs Bolton

Football’s a funny old game. Three league games into the new season and Garry Monk will be scratching his head, wondering how the Blues have only got two points on the board and not six.  Friday night saw Birmingham take on Swansea City and should arguably have romped home three or four goals. No disrespect…

Swansea City Preview vs Birmingham

Two wins out of two for Swansea as they defeated Preston 1-0 thanks to a Jay Fulton header. Graham Potter’s side look to follow on from their successive victories over Sheffield United and Preston with a third against Birmingham at St Andrews. Team News Following the closure of the Transfer Window, the manager’s options are…

Chelsea dispatch Terriers, but is Top 4 realistic?

There was much spotlight on Chelsea for the beginning of the season to see if the star players in Willian and Eden Hazard had their attentions focused on their current club following strong rumours of summer transfers, but also to see how the new signings and manager would adapt to England’s top tier. The Blues…

Middlesbrough Preview vs Birmingham City

Boro looked to be down and out last weekend at The Den. An early goal from Aiden O’Brien and a defensive error from Aden Flint, setting up Lee Gregory for Millwall’s second, left Boro trailing by a two-goal deficit going into the 87th minute. Yet, they somehow managed to salvage a point. Two goalmouth scrambles…

Chelsea Preview vs Huddersfield

The new season kicks off on Friday night, but Chelsea’s first game of the campaign begins on Saturday at 3 o’clock with a trip to the John Smith’s Stadium to take on Huddersfield Town. Mauricio Sarri’s new-look Blues will be playing their second competitive game of the season having lost to the indomitable Manchester City…
