Could Birmingham City star regret his war of words with Bristol City this evening? There was controversy post-match the last time these two teams met https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/could-birmingham-city-star-regret-2585115
Now the gaffer has listened to me well done LJ that is a quality side with players played in correct positions. That is as strong a side we can put out.

Pundit thoughts ~ please log in to view this image Michelle Owen @MichelleOwen7 In 90 minutes Bristol City managed just 2 shots on target, out of sorts tonight. Birmingham organised and physical and now only 3 points behind Bristol City in 6th.
An off night, no critique from me tonight, Bristol City still 6th, disappointed but always proud to be a RED, Up the City.
Disappointing, but not fatal. Need to get back on the horse soon though otherwise someone else will take advantage.
