Overview
- Birmingham recorded a 3-0 victory over Millwall on Tuesday with first-half goals from Alex Cochrane, Max Bird and Jay Stansfield.
- The result was Birmingham’s sixth win in eight matches and extended their unbeaten home league run to seven games.
- Goalkeeper James Beadle remains a doubt after picking up a knock at half-time against Lincoln, so Ryan Allsop deputised and made key saves in the Millwall game.
- August Priske is sidelined with a knee issue, Kristoffer Lund is ruled out, and Paik Seung-ho plus Dael Fry are recovering and not yet fully fit, putting pressure on rotation for upcoming fixtures.
- Millwall travelled without several regulars which reduced their set-piece threat and the victory strengthened Chris Davies’s case that Birmingham deserve their high league position and can sustain a promotion push.
