The club kept yet another clean sheet in the win over Birmingham City, extending the Championship clean sheet streak to six matches. It’s a remarkable stat, even more so when you consider the number of injuries and new players in the side. Last night’s win was much uglier than the match against Burton over the weekend, but keeping a clean sheet and getting a win was as impressive as the brilliant dominating win last Saturday.
