What do we think?
Birmingham City finished in 19th place on the Championship table in the 2016/17 campaign, finishing the season just two points clear of the relegation zone. Considering that this win came in the midst of an extended period of poor form for the Blues during the 2016/17 season, it may be fair to say that this result ultimately proved to be an important one for ensuring Birmingham’s Championship survival that season.
