Ryan Shotton and Nick Powell scored a goal in either half to consign Town to a 2-0 defeat at Wigan. The result was harsh on the Blues, who hit the bar early on through Luke Chambers and had plenty of other chances.
Ryan Shotton’s 12th minute goal is the difference between the teams at half-time, however, the Blues have had enough chances to at least be on terms with Luke Chambers hitting the woodwork and Wigan keeper Scott Carson thwarting Daryl Murphy.
Two goals from Nikola Zigic, both from long throws from the left, saw Birmingham to a 2-1 victory over the Blues at St Andrew’s. Town deserved more from the game with Lee Martin slamming in a superb equaliser and the winger should have been awarded a second half penalty prior to the Serb’s final moments winner.
