Birmingham are very fortunate, Middlesbrough have been cutting through them too easily and haven't taken their chances.

If things continue as they are then you can see Middlesbrough scoring in the second half.

You can see Birmingham are trying to play differently (under Wayne Rooney) and it's not working at the moment, but that's not to say that it won't.
