2 mins: Allardyce races from his seat in the stand to blast his players for a sloppy start.

8 mins: Jaaskelainen rescues his defenders, hurling himself to his right to push away Morrison's cross-shot.

21 mins: Hughes' shot fails to match the quality of the Birmingham build-up, leaving Jaaskelainen a comfortable save.

GOAL!

23 mins: The build-up is unconvincing - Savage launching the ball into the box and Morrison wrestling Charlton - and, although Forsell does well to beat N'Gotty and Campo, he gets lucky as his miscued shot wrong-foots Jaaskelainen, who can only palm the ball into the net.

Half-time: Birmingham 1 Wanderers 0

47 mins: Djorkaeff walks forlornly off the pitch and into the dressing room after picking up a hamstring injury.

59 mins: Jaaskelainen gets Wanderers off the hook with a solid save from Morrison after Savage catches Okocha in possession.

62 mins: More cause for concern as Hughes, one of the smallest players on the pitch, gets up to head a Johnson cross over the bar.

63 mins: Okocha strides off disconsolately after being substituted by Ba; he rejects a seat in the dugout and heads for the dressing room, pausing only to sign autographs for a couple of adoring young fans.

68 mins: Nolan curses himself as he finally gets in a position to shoot and lobs the ball over from the edge of the box.

GOAL!

69 mins: Poor defending allows Johnson to find his way to the bye-line and deliver the cross for Hughes to head home with amazing ease.

74 mins: Johnson robs Barness, who is relieved to see the midfielder shoot wide.

78 mins: Wanderers' only decent chance of the game falls to Charlton from a Frandsen corner but Taylor makes an excellent save to deny the former Blues man.

80 mins: Savage robs Campo and tees up Forssell; Jaaskelainen does well to make the initial save then gets lucky as Morrison hits the rebound off target.

Final score: Birmingham 2 Wanderers 0
