We have a delayed second half kickoff because Keiran Westwood’s net is broken. This is thrilling stuff. But never fear, the fourth official is on hand to patch up the offending material with some magical tape and we can get back underway.
Birmingham City Vs. Coventry City: Second Half Kickoff Delayed
And now I wish we hadn’t. Birmingham have ‘dominated’ the first ten minutes of the second half, but that’s only because their hideous mistakes are coming higher up the pitch than Coventry’s hideous mistakes. David Bentley is looking pretty lively on the left but Jean Beausejour is having one of the worst games I’ve ever seen from any professional footballer, and I regularly watch Major League Soccer. As I write this, Beausejour nods well wide from ten yards out whilst under no pressure. Nice.
Marlon King has come reasonably close to scoring, but the metaphorical and literal striker’s finish didn’t match his excellent take. The Birmingham left looks dangerously exposed on the counterattack, with Davids Bentley and Murphy spending all of their time in the Coventry half - quick releases deep down that flank have already caught the home side out twice. They’ll have to be pretty careful not to concede again as they press for an equaliser.
