Birmingham City and Millwall have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Championship.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Birmingham City have performed here at St Andrew's Trillion Trophy Stadium this season with 5 wins from 8 Championship matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 1 game and lost 2.
