Birmingham City 2 Brighton and Hove Albion 2
Birmingham City versus Brighton and Hove Albion this game ended in a draw 2 apiece. In my opinion this game was a little bit strange because the tactics that Lee Clark employed in the first half didn't really make sense. He played Nathan Redmond and Rob Hall up front and he did this despite the fact he had both King and Zigic and even Peter Lovenkrands available on the bench. I can understand playing Redmond as second striker but it doesn't really make sense to play Hall and Redmond up top because if you're going to play 442 you need some presence in the box from a proper striker whether that's the threat of King or the aerial threat of Nikola Zigic. I can understand why he didn't play King because King had been injured and while I appreciate that Zigic can do stupid things like get sent off you need a striker on the pitch, you can't play with 4 wingers. In this game we went ahead, Stephen Caldwell from a header from a corner, what you call a proper centre half's header. It didn't take that long before we conceded from outside the area and then we conceded again from a cross just before halftime. During the second half neither side really had any clear chances despite the changes made and we got a draw because Zigic's header was pretty much straight at the goalkeeper but he fumbled it and we scored in injury time.
