Birmingham city struggles continue with poor first 20 minutes

Birmingham City manager Lee Bowyer was disappointed by his team’s lack of effort in the first twenty minutes of the game. He pointed out that the attitude of his players in the second half was much better. He mentioned that the lack of power up front has been a problem for the team all season, and it showed in this game.

The match ends with Watford securing a comfortable 3-0 victory. Birmingham City’s woes continue, while Watford can celebrate their second win in ten games under their new manager.
