I’ll be honest this week’s column is a hard one to write.
Last week’s defeat away at Nottingham Forest was poor but was against a decent side and not wholly unexpected. Saturday’s loss to Birmingham City, a win that the Blues thoroughly deserved, was hard to take.
Lee Bowyers side are ravaged by defensive injuries and not in great form and yet they came away comfortable winners and had it not been for some exceptional Dan Bentley saves it would have been even more comfortable for them.
