Goals from Alan Lee and Simon Walton helped the Blues to a 2-2 draw with Birmingham City. But Town will be disappointed not to have claimed all three points having gifted the home side two equalisers, the second after Bruno N Gotty had been sent off for kicking out at Alan Lee.
Billy Clarke s first league goal won the Blues a 2-1 victory over Southampton. The Saints had gone ahead in the third minute through Kenwyne Jones and were the better side before the break, but after Clarke s introduction on 65 Town hit back, Simon Walton netting his second penalty in two matches.
