What do we think?
Many Birmingham City fans may have felt relief as Hogan’s strike hit the back of the net last Saturday as Hogan’s goal ensured that the Blues extended their unbeaten run to 11 games in all competitions.
In addition to that, their draw with Sheffield Wednesday keeps 14th placed Birmingham City level on points with 12th placed Sheffield Wednesday on the Championship league table, allowing the Blues to stay within touching distance of the top half of the table.
Birmingham City currently sit in second place in the Championship’s form table for the past eight games. Only Preston North End have earned more points than the Blues in that time. Some of the Birmingham City faithful may have felt overjoyed at seeing their side earn a point late on in Saturday’s game, continuing their current positive run of form.
