Birmingham City are close to 'sleepwalking into disaster' says interim boss Gary Rowett after defeat leaves them in bottom three.
Struggling Birmingham City "lack toughness" and are in danger of "sleepwalking into disaster" says interim manager Gary Rowett.They take on play-off chasing Coventry City at St Andrew's on Saturday in their penultimate home match."At the moment, it would be easy for me to attempt to gloss over it but it was a performance of a team almost waiting for things to happen to them and I'd like to see a lot more fight than that.
With the side in trouble, with only already-relegated Rotherham below them in the Championship table, Rowett says the squad need take proper stock of their situation and "at the very least, start to play for a bit of pride". "If you fight to very end - like the Leicester game - and you lose it late on, I think they can accept that but if you show a lack of fight and lack of character they get just as frustrated as I do."Blues face one of their most precarious situations since being relegated from the Premier League in 2011.
