Roberts Earns Birmingham Point at Swansea to Halt Away Slide

Manager Chris Davies set a target of winning at Sheffield Wednesday next.

Overview

  • Birmingham drew 1-1 at Swansea as Patrick Roberts equalised on 72 minutes after Zan Vipotnik’s first-half opener.
  • The result delivered Blues’ first away point since November and stopped a sequence of four straight away defeats.
  • Jay Stansfield’s introduction on 56 minutes was credited with shifting the game in Birmingham’s favor through his pressing.
  • Phil Neumann started for injured Jack Robinson, while new signing Jhon Solis was not yet available for selection.
  • Davies urged the team to build on the display for Tuesday’s trip to Sheffield Wednesday, as local analysis says the squad still seeks a centre-back, a winger and a striker this window.
