Match Reports
By Matt Davis - February 11, 2025
Both sides came into the fixture in good form, Blues still undefeated in all competitions since November's trip to Shrewsbury, whilst Stevenage had won 4 on the bounce, including impressive away wins over in-form Leyton Orient, previously unbeaten at home Wrexham, and play-off chasing Barnsley, with a 4-1 win over Exeter to top it off.

Steve Evans' comments prior to our trip to Rotherham earlier in the season did the rounds around social media, as he referred to Blues as "Real Birmingham" and called us the Galacticos however he wasn't quite so extreme in his praise this time, and his much improved Rotherham side provided a good test for Blues.
Before their 1-0 defeat to managerless Bolton last time out, the Terrier's hadn't lost a league game since visiting St Andrews early on in October - Bolton might've ended their run, but Huddersfield still posed a significant challenge at home.
Since our last report, Blues have continued our form through two cups and the league, and went into arguably the toughest away game of the season 14 games unbeaten.
Blues have blown a Wigan side away that don't concede many goals, and have been handed a Brucie bonus with Blackpool's last minute equaliser against Wycombe taking us top of the league table once more.
Both sides came into the game with injury problems, and the much discussed final Stockport game for Louie Barry didn't materialise, yet both sides put on a battle of a game.
With fixtures piling up and games every 3 days through the Christmas period, to get the results we've had has been fantastic.
Fair to say, none of the fans watching whether home, away or on TV were treated to a spectacle as Crawley, despite being in the bottom 4, set out with a solid game plan to press Blues high and not give us any time on the ball, and the press was deployed successfully as Blues struggled to gain any rhythm.
