Birmingham City tasted their first defeat under new manager John Eustace at the Cardiff City Stadium - and it was an Aston Villa player who delivered the ...

Scott Hogan, Birmingham’s foil for Troy Deeney up front, was sent clean through but dithered horribly to allow Bluebirds defender Jamilu Collins to prod the ball away from his feet before Hogan could even shoot. The loss to Cardiff was Birmingham manager John Eustace's first since taking over at the club Aston Villa loanee Jaden Philogene scored the winning goal for Cardiff against Birmingham

Steve Morison spoke to the press following the Bluebirds' victory over Birmingham City on Saturday afternoon. In an impressive performance from City, ...

It’s getting the players to stay in the mindset that if you’re not in the team, you’re going to come on, especially in attacking areas. We don’t have to sit there and put out the same team every week.” I thought he was excellent. He said: “I think with the depth, we’ve got players who aren’t quite where they need to be physically, like Jack Simpson - he’s not played any pre-season games. But on the whole, it was a really promising performance. “I thought we were excellent,” Steve began.

The Bluebirds host the Blues in the day's early Championship kick-off.

Substitute Williams is sent down the wing and hits a low cross. Anything, just to get him going, but nothing was coming and he was hauled off at the break. He finds Etete, but his close-range header is wide of the post! He just needed a goal, one to bounce off his thigh and into the net. But then came a particularly hairy moment for the hosts when Hogan was sprinting through on goal. He is hauled down and Jordan James is booked. Cardiff, though, forged another gaping chance to put the game to bed courtesy of some brilliant work by Mark Harris down the left. But the miss of the half came by virtue of Max Watters. It was that man O'Dowda again who architected the chance, slotting through the striker clean on goal. Pinging off passes like bullets out of a machine gun and making all the right decisions with the ball at their feet. It was O'Dowda, though, who made the goal. It whizzed past Watters but Philogene was there to tap in the easiest of chances. He let off a tame, side-footed strike and John Ruddy saved well.

Was in front of goal with a chance to score the equaliser but a crucial block from defence denied him. Could have done better in taking Blues' first corner kick of the game but linked up play more often in the second-half. Always in position to mark his man, though could have done better to stop Cardiff's attack in the build-up to goal. Got his team further forward in the second-half but will be gutted to not have had a greater impact. His man-marking could have been better in the first-half after he let both Callum O'Dowda and Max Watters run with the ball. Given his experience, he could have reacted better on some key occasions but struggled to keep up with the danger.
