Simon Atkins: Few dodgy moments in defence, but we're unlucky to be behind. If we keep it up, I think we can bounce back to win, as we did at home

So which way might this game go in the second half?

The statistics show Birmingham having more of the ball, but they need to turn that possession into opportunities if they're going to get back on level terms.

Sheffield Wednesday have been a constant danger on the break and they'll perhaps be disappointed not to have turned more of their eight shots into goals.

If one game just isn't enough to sate your appetite for Championship football, fear not, for there's a bumper set of fixtures coming up tomorrow.

Neil Warnock will return to Elland Road as Cardiff take on his former side Leeds, while Rotherham's increasingly faint hopes of survival may be all-but-ended should they fail to beat fellow strugglers Blackburn.

As ever, we'll also bring you updates of the pick of the action across 23 games being played in League One and League Two.

I'm exhausted just thinking about it.

Birmingham fans - are you more worried by your defensive showing or encouraged, given your side's promising recovery and attacking intent since conceding?

Sheffield Wednesday fans - is this the year you can finally make it back to the big time?

And how many goals will Jordan Rhodes score between now and May?

Sheffield Wednesday hold a narrow lead at half-time thanks to Jordan Rhodes' first goal since joining the club from Middlesbrough on transfer deadline day.

Birmingham are a touch unlucky to go in behind after twice seeing the ball come back off the woodwork, though manager Gianfranco Zola will have concerns about their defending.

Barry Bannan is back on his feet and okay to carry on after picking up a knock sliding in on David Davis.

There's going to be two minutes of added time at the end of this half.

Jack Hunt is nearly in behind the Birmingham defence down the right-hand flank as Sam Hutchinson launches a long pass over the top, but Hunt's touch is heavy and the ball is out for a goal-kick.

Now there's a delay in play as Barry Bannan goes down injured for Sheffield Wedneday. Let's hope it's not too serious.

Sheffiled Wednesday launch an attack down the left this time, and they win a corner for their efforts.

Fernando Forestieri's cross from the corner of the box is headed behind by Jonathan Grounds, but the Owls can't make anything of the set-play.

Craig Gardner is a menace with his set-pieces, his latest a free-kick from the left which goes low across the face of goal, just too far in front of his runners in the box.

Birmingham are shading the possession at the moment, but they still trail to Jordan Rhodes' early goal.

Into a calmer period of play, relatively speaking, with Birmingham creating a couple of crossing opportunities but failing to pick out a teammate.

I can't imagine this will still be 1-0 at half-time though. 

Everything Sheffield Wednesday create is coming down their right-hand side, with young Birmingham left-back Cheick Keita getting pulled out of position a bit too often.

This time the ball comes in to the feet of Sam Winnall, whose shot is deflected narrowly wide of Tomasz Kuszczak's left-hand post.

Kuszczak, already moving to his right, would have been helpless to stop that finding the net.

In all the excitement, I may have undersold that Emilio Nsue effort a few minutes ago.

The right-back brought the ball down on his chest, swiveled and smashed the ball left-footed against the post - Kieren Westwood had no chance in the Owls goal.

This is setting up to be a really good contest.

Sam Hutchinson breathes a huge sigh of relief.

Birmingham win a free-kick inside the Wednesday half, and Hutchinson heads Craig Gardner's delivery off his own post and out for a Birmingham corner.

Moments later, Emilio Nsue clatters the woodwork with a fierce strike. Great response from the visitors.

Another chance for Sam Winnall.

Again there's far too much space on the right-hand side for Sheffield Wednesday to swing a cross in, but Winnall can't get his header on target.

This could get out of hand if Birmingham don't tighten up quickly.

Jordan Rhodes has scored more goals than any other player in English football since August 2009, and Birmingham are going to have to cut off his service, or he could have a few more tonight.

Sheffield Wednesday are beating the visitors time and time again on the flanks - perhaps an early shift in formation might be in order for Gianfranco Zola?

Barry Bannan pulls the trigger from 25 yards out and almost gets lucky with it.

His shot bounces in front of Birmingham keeper Tomasz Kuszczak, who spills the shot and is fortunate to see a defender get to the ball first.

Moments later, Sam Winnall fires a shot over for the hosts, who look a danger every time they get the ball.

Lukas Jutkiewicz carries the ball into the Sheffield Wednesday box, but Vincent Sasso recovers well to win the ball off him after missing an earlier challenge.

Wednesday go down the other end and win a free-kick midway inside the City half, which Birmingham see out for a throw-in on the left-hand side.

Birmingham give far too much space for Sheffield Wednesday to whip a low cross in from the right, and Tomasz Kuszczak has to be brave to save at the feet of Sam Winnall and put the ball behind.

Blues do a better job defending the corner, but that's a good start for the hosts.

Birmingham, playing in their all red kit, get the game under way.

Sheffield Wednesday in their all blues. Good kit match-up this.
