Rotherham's victory in the early kick-off meant Bristol City started the game in 20th spot and worryingly close to the drop zone.
Fast forward 90 minutes and the Championship table makes for much more pleasant reading. A much-needed win for Nigel Pearson, four goals and a welcome switch in formation means the Robins are up to 17th and six points clear of the bottom three.
It's certainly not worth shouting about from the rooftops but Saturday certainly felt like a turning point of sorts. Birmingham started the first 10 minutes brightly but City soon stamped their authority on the contest and the visitors couldn't deal with them going forward.
