    BIRMINGHAM CITY v LEEDS UNITED | FA Cup reaction. The ''offside goal'. The penalties. But progress?

    FA Cup 4th round time, and Leeds United came to St Andrew's (at Knighthead Park) for a clash between Premiership and Championship. But you'd be hard pushed to work out which was which for most of the match. Simon Brew reflects on a 1-1 draw, on the penalty shoot-out, on a Patrick Roberts super-strike and a whole lot more...

    BIRMINGHAM CITY v WBA Reaction. Ref decisions. Playing out from the back. Missed opportunity

    Birmingham City would jump into the play-off places had they won. West Bromwich Albion fighting relegation. A local derby between BCFC and WBA, at a soggy St Andrews (at Knighthead Park). And a soggy, but absorbing, 0-0 draw. Simon Brew digs through the rubble of a disappointing night at The Blues. There's playing out from the back, distribution, the injury to Paik Seung-ho, and a few controversial decisions to work through as well. Get your coffee ready... Hosted on Acast.

    BIRMINGHAM CITY v LEICESTER CITY | Reaction. Jay Stansfield. And could Blues be rising?!

    BIRMINGHAM CITY haven't had the best of runs against Leicester City over the last 15 years or so. The Blues thought set up at St Andrews knowing a win would extend their unbeaten run to a month and a week. Plus, put pressure on the EFL Championship Play-Off places. In this episode of Thoughts On The Blues, Simon Brew reflects on a very useful win, on Jay Stansfield getting himself a goal again, on the hot water not flowing from the taps in the bogs, and a worrying sense of hope... Plus: Ibrahim Osman and that goal... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    OXFORD v BIRMINGHAM CITY | Reaction. Vicente. Whisper it are Blues looking up now

    Oxford United vs Birmingham City didn't look the most exciting EFL Championship game on paper. But Chris Davies' men, off the back of a 2-0 away win at Sheffield Wednesday, were eyeing back to back wins on their travels. With new signings August Priske and Carlos Vicente in the squad, hopes were growing - and it turned into a very pleasant football match. In the latest Thoughts On The Blues episode, Simon Brew reacts to the game, considers the car park behind the Oxford goal, and wonders about the rest of the transfer window too. Hosted on Acast.

    BLUES vs STOKE | Reaction. New players! Two points dropped?

    Birmingham City - suddenly unbeaten in four - took on an injury-ravaged Stoke City in the EFL Championship at St Andrews. And what a game it wasn't! A 1-1 draw, watched by Simon Brew from a slightly different seat. There was a debut for Ibrahim Osman, a first look at August Priske, and another dash of Jhon Solis. But also a fair few talking points about where this leaves the Blues, whether there was more on offer than we took, and the state of the toilets in the Main Stand. Ah, gotta love a Saturday afternoon at the football... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY v BLUES | Reaction, blueberries, and - hang on, was that Kyogo?!

    Sheffield Wednesday vs Birmingham City. A battle of teams that aren't very good at playing away from home, and a golden chance for the Blues to finally get three points on the road. What BCFC met was a spirited SWFC team, lining up with Emile Heskey's son on the pitch and Nathan Redmond on the bench. Blues, meanwhile? Three new signings, none of them starting. A forward line that's not been firing away from home. No sign of a clean sheet. And the small matter of Kyogo. With the aid of a packet of blueberries, Simon Brew examines just what happened next.

    SWANSEA CITY v BIRMINGHAM CITY | Reaction, thoughts - and an actually decent away performance!

    Birmingham City's wretched away form suggested that an away trip to Swansea City - with their great home form - was not what was required. With Keshi Anderson and Lyndon Dykes leaving in midweek, and injuries rife, the Blues squad looked thing. And a subs bench for the Championship match with U21 players pointed to part of the problem. Oh, and we're rubbish away. Usually. BUT! This is new Blues (again), and Simon Brew reflects on some welcome progress ahead of matches against Sheffield Wednesday and Stoke City...

    CAMBRIDGE v BIRMINGHAM CITY reaction | The magic of the FA Cup? And a Kyogo goal...

    It's FA Cup third round weekend, and EFL Championship residents The Blues found themselves drawn away at a misty Cambridge United. It was at the end of a week where BCFC had defeated Coventry City, and where speculation was rife around the future of Kyogo. Plus, injuries, players on their way out... changing times at Birmingham City. Simon Brew - simon.brew on Insta - has a few thoughts in the latest episode of Thoughts On The Blues.
