HT: Birmingham 1-1 Barnsley
Tom Gayle
Final Score at St Andrews @ Knighthead Park
I’m not sure we would have seen this type of game had Barnsley not been reduced to 10 men early on.
Credit to Conor Hourihane’s tactics for the entertainment value, they’ve played like a side with nothing to lose. A constant threat on the counter, and could have taken the lead if not for better finishing from Adam Phillips and Stephen Humphrys.
Groans from the home support reflected their nerves before Jay Stansfield settled them from the spot.
Really poor Birmingham defending for the equaliser. Former Blues defender Marc Robert’s long throw wasn’t dealt with, and Davis Keillor-Dunn’s header gave the visitors a deserved equaliser.
More of the same in the second half please.
