Birmingham City vs Blackburn live: Hogan strikes late as Blues rally (Birmingham Live)

The latest Birmingham City news and views from BirminghamLive as Blues face Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park.

With the coach we work on this, he explains it to me well, sometimes slowly for the English and it’s good. We are a bit of a family, when someone is a bit down we speak and it helps is a lot.” The flip side of that is the head coach admits fatigue will be as big an enemy as Blackburn at Ewood Park this weekend. When I came to the city, I visited a little bit, I went to a restaurant, it was a good city, good people, people are nice, friendly, I enjoy being in this city. They sat atop the table for a day, until they were replaced by QPR – [Blues](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/all-about/birmingham-city-fc) ’ next opponents. It was a good save but the drive was straight at the goalkeeper. “The accent was very strong, I am not going to lie. Deeney and Lukas Jutkiewicz offer experience off the bench as Blues look for their first win at Ewood Park since December 2013. Hannibal Mejbri and Troy Deeney are rested, with the captain’s armband going to goalkeeper John Ruddy. Last year for us it was a bit difficult but this year it is quite good and hopefully we keep working like this. After no wins on their travels in six months, they have now recorded three in the last five games. Hogan elected to go for power and Thomas Kaminski tipped his rising shot over the bar.

Scored two great goals and it was good to see we got midfield players around the last third. Lots of teams have had difficulties with Birmingham over the last weeks so in that way it was a good performance, though probably not our best game on the ball. "The only disappointing thing is obviously the manner we conceded the two goals isn't like us. I think they've done a good job and the second half, they had some chances. "It was a great result against a side who was in form, playing extremely well. The first half was of course a game without that many chances, a game that could go both ways.

Blackburn Rovers player ratings as Kaminski and Gallagher make ... (Accrington Observer)

Marks out of 10 as Blackburn Rovers beat Birmingham City at Ewood Park in the Championship.

Work rate off the ball is infectious and invaluable to the team. He's far more central and the goal he scored typified that, in the six-yard box and tapping in from close range. Played as a number 10 closest to the two strikers and did well before being replaced on the hour. Fantastic delivery for Gallagher's goal, putting it on a plate for the striker. Huge block at the end to keep the lead intact. Looks far more comfortable on the right of the back three and defended well. The best of the lot came in the dying minutes to keep out Jutkiewicz. It was a match-winning save and enough to secure the point. Kaminski could do nothing as Hogan eventually found a breakthrough though. Rovers were again grateful to Kaminski for maintaining their two-goal advantage as he denied Hogan one-vs-one. The boyhood Rovers fan earned half a yard in the box and fired a low shot into the bottom corner for his first senior goal. Sam Gallagher turned in from close range to open the scoring after a neat passing move.

Blackburn Rovers 2-1 Birmingham City - match report (Lancashire Telegraph)

Rovers made it five home wins in a row after a hard-fought 2-1 victory against Birmingham City at Ewood Park.

Tomasson’s men doubled their lead on the stroke of half time through Wharton’s strike. Gallagher also had a chance for a second but he failed to hit the target with a first-time effort after some good play by Brereton. The visitors started the second half strongly and Kaminski had to make another good stop to deny Hogan after he managed to beat the offside trap. At the other end, Ryan Hedges had a chance to add a third but he couldn’t find a way past Ruddy from a tight angle. Kaminski also had to make a smart stop to tip Hogan’s effort over the bar after the forward managed to get into a dangerous area. Rovers then nearly handed Birmingham a chance to get back on level terms after giving the ball away in a dangerous area, but the offside flag came to their rescue as Chong was racing towards goal.
