Jack Robinson: Birmingham defender says squad is ‘easily top-six’ quality

By Total Football News

Birmingham City have a squad that is “easily top-six” quality says recent arrival Jack Robinson.

The 32-year-old centre-back joined Blues on transfer deadline day and, at the time, said the stature and ambition of the club, following their record League One title-winning season last term, was the main reason he moved from Sheffield United.

It is a sentiment he has echoed after making his debut as Blues snapped their run

Cardiff City 1-0 Hull City: Callum Robinson with vital Bluebirds winner

By Total Football News

At this advanced stage of a season, matches like these – between two teams sat uncomfortably close together towards the bottom of the table – can be unbearably tense.

And while there were undoubtedly nerves on both sides, the first half was so severely lacking in quality or meaningful incident that it was almost completely devoid of feeling.

Robinson managed two shots for Cardiff, one wide and the other comfortably

Watford: Zigor Aranalde replaces Paul Robinson as assistant coach

Watford boss Tom Cleverley has made a backroom reshuffle, replacing first-team coach Paul Robinson with the Hornets’ former assistant Zigor Aranalde.

Aranalde, who worked under previous head coach Javi Gracia between January 2018 and September 2019, returns to Vicarage Road.

Reece James (Chelsea): I’m going to be soft and sentimental with this one. Yes, I know he was a sub against Bournemouth and he scored a nice free-kick and it was only a draw. However, it has been about 500 days since we saw him play a decent game. A world-class player on his day but unfortunately injuries have ravaged him.

Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace) and Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa):

The Bluebirds also came close to scoring a winner and, although there was frustration they were unable to secure successive wins for only the second time this season, the applause from their supporters at the final whistle illustrated their appreciation of a valiant effort from the 10 men.

The result does not make the Championship table any nicer to look at for Cardiff, who remain second from bottom, while Coventry

Tom Cleverly made four changes to the team which beat Portsmouth 2-1 on Boxing Day.

Cardiff, meanwhile, made three changes from their 3-2 defeat at Oxford United, including a start for youngster Ashford.
