From start to finish the Birmingham performance level was night and day compared to what it was at the end of last season.

They were hard to beat, and if that is Aitor Karanka's set-up then I'm all for it.

I'm sure Karanka is buzzing to get three points and a clean sheet.

Jeremie Bela's first-half header was enough for Birmingham to beat last season's beaten play-off finalists Brentford.

It's a first win in 17 games in all competitions for the Blues - and an opening-day three points for new manager Aitor Karanka.

Brentford hit the woodwork twice and largely dominated the second half, but couldn't make the most of their possession.

Michael Ihiekwe's stoppage-time header seals the win for the Millers, who make the perfect return to the Championship.

That's a real kick in the teeth for Gareth Ainsworth's Wycombe, but this is a lesson for them in this league and one they'll need to learn quickly.

Blues make a late change to wind down the clock, with Gary Gardner coming on for striker Lukas Jutkiewicz.

There will be four minutes of stoppage time at St Andrew's.

Birmingham are on the cusp of an impressive victory.

Massive chance for the visitors.

Centre-back Pontus Jansson meets an inswinging corner from the left on the edge of this six-yard box.

But the Bees captain sends his header down into the ground and over the bar.

You get the feeling it won't be Brentford's day.

Five minutes plus stoppages left in the Midlands.

Will Birmingham hold on for an opening-day win?

The Blues have held firm in the second half in the face of a Brentford onslaught.

Adam Clayton gets a yellow for a leg-pull on Josh Dasilva which brings down the Brentford midfielder.

That challenge was straight off a rugby pitch, and as obvious a booking as you'll ever see.

And that goal almost came for Wycombe.

Scott Kashket nips in to lob Millers keeper Jamal Blackman but Wes Harding clears off the line.

Final change for Brentford as Emiliano Marcondes, who came on in the eighth minute, goes off.

Tariqe Fosu replaces the Dane. Can he provide a spark of creativity up front?

Still no goals in this one.

Second half not as good as the first with neither side really creating much.

Hopefully we get a goal soon to get this game going as we enter the closing 15 minutes.

Winger Ivan Sanchez, who set up Birmingham's goal, goes off to be replaced by youngster Adan George.

Blues left-back Kristian Pedersen gets a caution for a late challenge on Josh Dasilva on halfway.

Under 20 minutes remain at St Andrew's.

A change in the Brentford frontline.

Marcus Forss, who scored 11 goals during a loan spell at AFC Wimbledon last season, comes on for Sergi Canos.

Birmingham have to weather the storm.

Brentford have come out in the second half and been very good and really should have scored at least one.

Birmingham make their first change, with Dan Crowley coming on for Jon Toral in midfield.

The Bees have dominated possession since the break, but the hosts are defending in numbers.
