Stoke City 2-2 Birmingham City: Ricardo Fuller, Keith Fahey Goals Help Illustrate Brum Lunacy

Birmingham City has become ridiculous. For two matches in a row, they’ve fell behind two goals while playing far too conservatively. For two matches in a row, simply becoming more ambitious has pulled Brum even. And with it the question remains: Why don’t Birmingham City show more ambition, more often?

Ricardo Fuller initially looked to make Alex McLeish pay, putting the Potters up 2-0 in the 72nd minute. The Birmingham coach responded by bringing on Keith Fahey for Jean Beausejour, with the Ireland international playing dividends with a well-struck goal two minutes later.

Two minute after that, Cameron Jermone header a Sebastian Larsson cross past Asmir Begovic for the equalizer, shocking a Brittania crowd that thought their Potters on the way to three. But underscoring City’s joy was “why?”

Why was Brum limp for an hour before waking up?
