... yeah so that was pretty embarrassing for the Premier League side. Granted, they're playing their reserve squad right now, considering their good* players all spent 120 minutes barely beating West Ham United earlier in the week, but reserve players should really know how to walk without falling over or jump for a corner. Apparently not, though. There had been warning signs for the hosts from previous set pieces, but these were apparently ignored, and Birmingham left centreback Richard Wood totally unmarked from a corner to nod past an amusingly flailing Colin Doyle and into the net.
Birmingham City Vs. Coventry City: Richard Wood Makes It Two
Alex McLeish looks mortified, like a man who’s woken from a seem slumber and lovely dream to find himself managing Birmingham. Meanwhile, Coventry’s fans, secluded away in some dark corner of St. Andrews, are making some noise. Can’t blame them, really, their side is very much on the front foot.
*These things are relative.
