‘Diabolical Performance’

In what was a unique experience at St Andrew’s, Coventry City hosted their landlords, Birmingham City.

The Sky Blues have been ground-sharing with their West Midlands rivals since the start of the season following problems with their previous Ricoh Arena home.

Coventry City overcame Bristol Rovers in a Third Round replay in order to ‘host’ the peculiar affair.

Birmingham City boss Pep Clotet had labelled it a strange fixture in the build-up to kick-off as Blues were made to occupy the away changing room and away designated seating.

Here’s what Birmingham City fans said on Twitter after full-time.

The draw for the Fifth Round of the Emirates FA Cup takes place on Monday, 27 January 2020.
