BIRMINGHAM CITY [A] the verdict ...... a marked improvement and a goal to savour
Forever Bristol City PodcastShow Notes
Dom Ballard's strike on 85 minutes was good enough to win any game and it's execution was of the highest order. It put City in front for a second time but they were denied the three points their performance deserved by a questionable penalty which Birmingham scored in the very last minute.
This was a much improved performance after City's opener against Millwall last weekend with Scott Twine playing a major part in it.
