Birmingham vs West Brom

The referee pointed to the spot and Taylor stepped up, nervelessly sending Johstone the wrong way and ending Blues' goal drought. The game broke up and Albion ...

Probably Blues' best player in the first period when he ran hard, covered plenty of ground and hit the pass of the half when he picked out Hernandez with a 40-yard diagonal. Spent more of the first game pressing and chasing down the ball than trying to get on the end of anything resembling an attack. Managed to produce one moment of magic in the second period when he picked out Hogan with cross-field pass - and did his hamstring. Nothing to do in the first half other than deal with a couple of corners and clear his lines. Deployed on the right of midfield and didn't really get into the match in the opening 45. The game broke up and Albion started to ask more and more questions.

Darnell Furlong and Conor Towsend are the wing-backs, with a central three of Jake Livermore, Taylor Gardner-Hickman and Alex Mowatt. Karlan Grant and Callum ...

That certainly suggests there is something about this team at the moment, so the potential is there to remain in the conversation for the rest of the season.

West Brom manager Steve Bruce: "It's got to be the worst game of football I've seen in a long time. In the second half, we did the same as them, we were on the front foot and were better with second balls. We got a clean sheet, they've got a lot of players who can hurt you and we stood up to it. In the first half, both teams didn't put two or three passes together and there was nothing in the game. Carroll's chance eventually came in the 87th minute. Onel Hernandez picked out the 22-year-old with a neat cross-field pass but his strike was deflected wide by Semi Ajayi for a corner after the Dutchman had smartly brought the ball down at the back post.

In a poor derby clash between the two sides, on-loan Nottingham Forest striker Lyle Taylor scored for the home side from a penalty. However, the Baggies ...

Albion were in good form recently, but the result has ended their four-game unbeaten run. In other West Brom news, a staff member has quit the Albion to join Wolves. However, the Baggies should have had a penalty as the replay clearly shows Marc Roberts has handled the ball in the box as he went for a header, and Darren Carter has suggested that it was a “real let-off” for the Blues.
