Championship: Bristol City 1-2 Birmingham
Published 00:00 17/09/08 By
Blues manager Alex McLeish felt his men sent out a statement of intent to their Championship rivals last night.
Their hopes of an immediate return to the top flight improved after an own goal from Louis Carey and Cameron Jerome's strike made it a fifth win in six games.
Bristol's only reply was a spectacular 40- yard goal from substitute Lee Trundle.
McLeish said: "Bristol will trouble a lot of sides here, even Premier League outfits if they draw them in the FA Cup.
Some of the stuff we played in the first-half was quite outstanding."
