Nikola Zigic

The Great Escape

Talking Points sponsored by John Hicken Industrial roofing and cladding materials

An injury time equaliser from Paul Caddis for Birmingham City against Bolton ensured that it was Doncaster Rovers and not the Blues who were relegated to League One. In a “Great Escape” Steve McQueen would have been proud of Birmingham City stayed up by virtue of a superior goal difference to Paul Dickov’s men having come back from 2-0 down against Bolton.

Farewell Zigic

Tomorrow night is likely to be the last time we will Nikola Zigic play for Blues at St Andrew’s with it being the final home game of what is the last season in his contract.

Dear Lee: Leeds Preview

Match previews sponsored by EZE Group - Lifestyle Experts

Blues face Leeds today in what is a crunch game in the Championship – win it and the teams around us lose and we are virtually mathematically safe; the reverse and we are in deep trouble.

A Serbian Problem

Talking Points sponsored by John Hicken Industrial roofing and cladding materials

Despite the dearth of strikers at Birmingham City, Nikola Zigic has been left out of the last two match-day squads for “footballing reasons” with rumours abound that he and Lee Clark have fallen out. I don’t think there is anyone who polarises opinion as much at St Andrews as Nikola Zigic. To some he is […]
