00:00
Birmingham City have won a game of football here against Blackburn Rovers.
00:05
John Eustace's Blackburn Rovers no less. The ex-Blues manager coming here
00:09
returning to St. Andrews at Nighthead Park. Not the return he would have wanted.
00:13
He only became Blackburn manager just a few days ago and a frustrating night for
00:17
him as Rovers were dominated by Blues throughout the game. Blues should have
00:21
been out of sight. Just a 1-0 win. Should have been 2, 3 maybe 4. Actually only
00:25
three shots on target which doesn't tell the story I've just told but they should
00:30
have been so more. Once again clear-cut chances, missing the target, not even
00:33
testing the goalkeeper Ashley Pairs. I think it was just once again a
00:39
lack of confidence maybe in front of goal. Tony Mowbray would be so frustrated
00:43
that those chances weren't converted. Tyler Roberts had a really good game
00:46
tonight but was let down by two clear-cut misses. He could have had two
00:50
or three on another night. Koji Miyoshi played really well. Peik Sung Ho as well.
00:54
It was a planned substitution in the second half. That's why he went off. He's
00:58
not quite got the fitness yet but when he gets going and he can play 90 minutes
01:01
he's gonna be a game-changer because wow his technical ability on the ball. He
01:05
looks well beyond a lot of the other Blues players in the team and
01:09
that's no disrespect to the rest of the Blues squad. Peik looks very
01:12
very good for this level. 1-0 win. It's a crucial three points. It moves Blues six
01:17
points clear of Queens Park Rangers in 20 seconds. I don't think Birmingham are in
01:22
relegation scrap even if they'd lost tonight. I still think they've got the
01:25
quality in the squad. They're showing it with their performances as well, creating
01:28
so many chances. They just need to put more of them away. They're making it too difficult
01:32
for themselves and Mowbray, he was away from the touchline. He had a touchline
01:35
ban tonight. I was picking up a third yellow of the season away at Sheffield
01:38
Wednesday and I could see him just below me and he wasn't even looking
01:43
frustrated to be honest. He was just there sat so calm but just with a annoyed look on
01:48
his face really just in disbelief that Birmingham hadn't opened the scoring
01:51
sooner but it did in the end. Blackburn had a very late chance actually. Last
01:55
header of the game, last touch of the game. The captain should have scored but
01:58
John Ruddy got behind it. A let off at the end for Blues. It could have been 1-1
02:02
and that really would have told the story. They couldn't convert and they'd
02:05
be ruining their chances but as it is a big three points and now they need to
02:09
work on it. Some tough fixtures to come but lots of confidence to be taken.
