QPR Seize 96th-Minute Win Over Birmingham to Climb Into Championship Top Six

The defeat intensified scrutiny of Chris Davies' in-game choices during a run of poor away results.

Overview

  • Substitute Kieran Morgan struck from 20 yards in the 96th minute, moments after Patrick Roberts had leveled in stoppage time following Jimmy Dunne’s first-half header.
  • The victory was QPR’s fourth in five league matches and moved them up to sixth place in the Championship.
  • Birmingham suffered a seventh away defeat of the season, extending a pattern that has left them relying on strong home form.
  • Manager Chris Davies called it “a painful defeat” and said Birmingham must improve on their travels; he also said benching Tommy Doyle was to freshen the team after a heavy workload.
  • Roberts said “game management has to come in,” noting the team should have protected a point, with Birmingham now turning to a home test against Charlton on Saturday.
