Whilst the first team took a battering at the hands of Barnsley there was more pleasing progression for some of the players out on loan with all the Blues players playing for other clubs getting minutes on the pitch again.

It was a better week all round for Birmingham City’s on loan players with all four either scoring or winning their games.

It was a bit of a mixed weekend for Blues loanees but pleasingly there was also plenty of game time for the young guns. Adam Rooney joined the ranks of loaned out Blues players this week having swapped places with Paul Caddis to take the number of Blues players on temporary transfer to four.
