I cast my mind back to my university days during our baron times under Gianfranco Zola (sorry for reminding you). There have been countless occasions where ‘Jukey’ has stepped up and saved blues in multiple different ways. Jutkiewicz may not be a conventional ‘number 9’ striker like Forsell or Phillips but still manages to find the crucial goals for Blues when needed. The man I am referring to is our current number 10 big Lukas Jutkiewicz.ĭuring my short lifetime, I’ve been fortunate enough to witness many great strikers wear the royal blue of Birmingham City, Kevin Phillips and Mikael Forsell being 2 of my personal favourites however, there is one man who although he may have not have achieved the level of glory as the previous 2 players I mentioned he has been just as important to the club, if not more so.

Blues captain Harlee Dean challenged Sibley and referee Tony Harrington pointed to the spot, with Shinnie emphatically converting the penalty. They could have gone in front after 10 minutes when Louie Sibley – in for the suspended Martyn Waghorn – was played in on goal, but Neil Etheridge stuck out a strong hand to push the effort over the bar.īut the goalkeeper was the villain in the 15th minute as he gifted the visitors the lead, dropping Graeme Shinnie’s corner under no pressure which allowed Krystian Bielik to hook the ball into the empty net for his first Derby goal.Īnd Etheridge was beaten again in the 17th minute. The Rams had started the night as the Sky Bet Championship’s lowest scorers with 10 in 20 matches and they had not scored more than two in any game, but they put that right within 25 minutes. However, Birmingham are now looking over their shoulders as Aitor Karanka’s men have not won any of their last five and their last home victory was back on 28 October.

It also did no harm to Rooney’s chances of being appointed as the permanent successor to Phillip Cocu, who was sacked as manager in early November, as the club await a potential takeover by a consortium. Three goals in 10 first-half minutes did the damage for Wayne Rooney’s side as they responded strongly to their stoppage-time defeat by Preston on St Stephen’s Day, which had ended a previous six-game unbeaten run. DERBY RECORDED THEIR biggest win of the season as a 4-0 triumph at Birmingham saw them climb out of the Championship’s bottom three for the first time since the end of October.
