Birmingham 3 city v Charllton 2

Blues held on to seal a much needed win, ending their winless run while also keeping up with Wolves and Reading who both won away from home. I was very impressed by McFadden, Bent and Quashie. All three had their best games of the season so far, but for differing reasons. McFadden seemed to be back to his skilful, threatening best, while Bent was a constant thorn in the side of the Charlton defence. While he had a very eventful 59 minutes, Quashie put in a good performance in which he did exactly what he was asked to. His performance may just have influenced McLeish`s thinking about whether he should be kept on at Blues once his one month loan deal ends. Also Phillips whose looping header got Blues back into the game, nice one son.
