Birmingham City are represented in the latest Football League team of the week that has been selected after this week’s action.
The performance by Craig Gardner in the two nil victory over Huddersfield Town at the weekend at St Andrew’s Stadium was enough to earn them a place in the side alongside the other most impressive performers in the Football League pyramid.
I think we’ll already know ourselves, and not just based on the latest performance, why Gardner was selected as part of the team but explaining the choice – the FL blurb read.
‘Birmingham took a huge step towards Sky Bet Championship safety courtesy of a 2-0 win over Huddersfield Town, and Gardner was a stand-out performer. His cross led to the opener for the 10-man Blues, and he wrapped up the points from the penalty spot to give Harry Redknapp his first win in charge.’
It’s always good to see the club represented in this way, and well played to Gardner for his recognition, but the most important thing about the weekend was of course the points.
Full Team:
Connor Ripley (Oldham Athletic), Derrick Williams (Blackburn Rovers), Aden Flint (Bristol City), David Wheater (Bolton Wanderers), Christian Burgess (Portsmouth), Jake Taylor (Exeter City), Shane Ferguson (Millwall), Craig Gardner (Birmingham City), Curtis Weston (Barnet), Nicky Adams (Carlisle United), Harvey Barnes (MK Dons).
Manager – Nathan Jones (Luton Town).
