Preston 1 Birmingham 0 - verdict

Alex McLeishBirmingham are now six points adrift of Championship leaders Wolves after defeat at Preston.

Sub Jon Parkin got the only goal of the game after ariving in the 78th minute, latching on to a Ross Wallace ball in stoppage time to fire home.

Under-par Blues’ best chance to score came on the hour.

It fell to Kevin Phillips, who headed straight at Preston goalkeeper Andy Lonregan when very well placed.

    hahahaha. I thought your players said Wolves were no good. I remember going to Deepdale and making light work of Preston. I wonder how silly those Blues players feel now.
    Were going up with the Royals.

    Now they will be sweating having to play reading this saturday. Either a draw or maybe a blues win as Wolves are trying to put as much daylight as possible between us and 3rd place.If Blues go up expect Phillips to sign for Coventry as he dosent want premiership football.
