Birmingham: October in Review.
1st November 2013
View attachment 389878
A great month for Birmingham, both off and on
the field, saw them break even and break into
the top half of the table.
With the finances stabilised and the goals flying
in from all angles, it's certainly been a morale
boosting time at St. Andrew's.
Birmingham 3:1 Bournemouth (Championship)
Zigic 2
Elphick OG
A great way to start the month, bouncing back
perfectly from the defeat to QPR with an organ-
ised victory over Bournemouth. It was here that
Nikola Zigic started off a month that must rank
very highly in his entire career, the brace was
a sign of things to come.
Birmingham 4:0 Doncaster (Championship)
Zigic 3
Lingard
Doncaster being reduced to ten men proved to
be the turning point in a nervy affair. Despite
the scoreline, this wasn't a hammering for the
Yorkshire side- who were looking a pretty decent
point before the red card ruined their day.
Birmingham 2:2 Wigan (Championship)
Zigic 2
Wigan may be high in the table and playing well,
but this truly was two dropped points for the
blues. Two-nil up- again- before a collapse that
is starting to look all too familiar. Darren Randolph
ended the match as the subject of fan chants that
were none too complimentary.
Middlesbrough 1:4 Birmingham (Championship)
Lingard
Bartley
Zigic
Lovenkrands
Jesse Lingard celebrated his loan extension with
a performance worthy of the Premier League, while
Nikola Zigic rounded off an amazing month with his
EIGHTH goal in just four games. Unlike the luck that
helped the Blues topple Doncaster, this was a perfect
performance that will have delighted the away fans.
