Coventry will be distraught at conceding a goal scored by a Jane Austen character as Stuart Parnaby smashes home an Alexander Hleb cutback. Birmingham have been on the front foot for most of the half and now have the goal their play (sort of) deserves. With David Bentley, who, depressingly, is the best player on the pitch, moved to the right side, most of their good play is coming down that flank, and the goal was made by a cross from that side.
Birmingham City Vs. Coventry City: Stuart Parnaby Grabs Equaliser
Bentley drew Keiran Westwood out of position and floated in a cross to the far post, where if Nikola Zigic were twelve feet tall he would have been faced with an open goal. Which he'd have missed Fortunately for the hosts, Zigic is not that tall, and Birmingham were able to retreive the ball on the left, let Hleb charge into the area, and feed Parnaby, who finished rather adroitly past Westwood. 2-2.
There’s been a strong response by Coventry, who’ve threatened more than a few times since the goal, but they may be pushing up too high in their hunt to get back in front, leaving them a touch exposed at the back.
