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...

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.

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...
