It's perhaps not particularly surprising given Bristol City's struggles throughout autumn and winter but the last time the Robins experienced victory at Ashton Gate was more than three months ago.
A 2-1 victory over Preston North End by virtue of a Rob Atkinson brace was the moment, and since then it's been three draws and four defeats, in all competitions, including the nadir of losing to Lincoln City in the League Cup.
Birmingham City are never the ideal opponents when you're trying to break yourselves out of such a funk with the Robins having beaten them just once in their last nine meetings dating back to the start of the 2018/19 season.
