Zigic-gol: Birmingham breathe. Dark night, however, for West Ham

A head Zigic giving away three golden points at home to Birmingham's West Ham: The Hammers are now really in trouble more and more at the bottom of the standings. McLeish had set up a defensive race, hoping for some cross for his giant up front: one of these for Zigic around the time the game decides the challenge salvation Hampton Park.

Grant has a very offensive formation with Obinna, Keane and Piquionne all three simultaneously in the field along with O'Neill and Parker and Noble in midfield. McLeish responded with a median line very physical, with Gardner, Bowyer and Ferguson together with Bentley (sacrificed as an outsider offensive Beausejour and S.

Larsson, as Hleb and McFadden are not even on the bench) and Jerome in attack for next to Zigic hold onto the ball and picking up the team. The first time there is a high prevalence of West Ham, however, seems a bit 'hazy on offense. Grant's team plays well, the game expands on the wings and the tips also involved in the movement moving very well, which is spreading to banks for coming to his teammates.

When, however, come close to some of the lost touch of too much or not getting put on the cross in from the outside and so we often feel outside. Before you Obinna, at 18 'to kick, but misses to the left, then Parker is the 26', with identical results. For guests to remember only one shot Garnder to 14 'and a header from Johnson to 31'.

The very last minute of the first time the opportunity comes most delicious of all: Bridge sow panic on the left and puts the limit for Keane who pretended to pull, more than an opponent, but arrived at the floppy shoots high with the left . As in the first half of the first 10 minutes are played openly by both teams that stretch a lot and there are many areas for action by either side, although none of a certain hazard.

From 60 'the rule of the Hammers but again, not least because it covers even more McLeish Larsson inserting instead of Jerome, switching to a 4-5-1. Despite all the guests pass, 65 ': Larsson's free-kick from the left, the head of Zigic perfect cross to the far post that comes out behind Reid and the square behind Green.

The game runs completely: one minute passes and the company still Swedish-Serbian nearly doubles the number 7 cross low shot from the right side and little by little into the area, there comes the number 19 cicognone that, although it stretches in all their 202 cm, the appointment does not come with a shotgun.

The reaction of the owners was immediate but is furious at the 77 'Bridge's cross from the trocar and Demba Ba, after a couple of rebounds, take the intersection of the poles in the middle of pulling knows from a tight angle inside the penalty area . Now we feel even the defenders: all'82'Da Costa from 40 yards that hit the test fails to reject Foster on his right.

Right at 90 'Obinna tries to ride with a shot from the left but the ball ends up on the side, although very close to the pole. Apart from these three occasions the Birmingham holds well (including mixtures) to 90 'and bring home a victory sweaty: Grant for the increasingly shaky bench after this latest defeat.
