Roberts Equaliser Ends Birmingham’s Away Skid in 1-1 Draw at Swansea

Chris Davies cast the draw as a platform for a more aggressive, higher-pressing display at Sheffield Wednesday.

Overview

  • The match finished 1-1 at the Swansea.com Stadium, with Zan Vipotnik scoring before Patrick Roberts equalised on 72 minutes.
  • The result delivered Birmingham City’s first away point since November and halted a sequence of road defeats.
  • Chris Davies praised the team’s character and said the performance should be a springboard to victory at Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday.
  • The manager urged a higher defensive line, quicker passing and more assertive pressing after a first half he felt was too passive.
  • Jay Stansfield’s second-half introduction was credited with shifting momentum, as Phil Neumann started for injured Jack Robinson and new signing Jhon Solis was unavailable.
