Birmingham's Stunning Century: A League One Triumph
So, Birmingham City hit the 100-point mark in League One – can you believe it? Their 1-0 win against Stevenage on April 24th, 2025, not only sealed the Championship title but also put them on the verge of a record-breaking season. It was a pretty amazing game, and I wanted to share the details.
Stevenage's Struggle, Birmingham's Dominance
Stevenage, to be fair, have had their moments – that win against Bristol Rovers was a highlight – but their form’s been a bit up and down lately. They lost four out of their last six matches, and honestly, you could see the difference on the pitch. They had some early chances, sure, but Birmingham were just on another level. Birmingham, on the other hand? Five wins out of their last six at St. Andrew's. They controlled the game from start to finish. Then, three minutes after coming on, Alex Cochrane bangs in a stunning long-range goal. Game over. Who saw *that* coming?

Birmingham's Record-Breaking Run
This win wasn’t just about beating Stevenage; it’s about Birmingham’s incredible season. They’re sitting pretty with 102 points – and that puts them in striking distance of the League One points record, currently held by Wolverhampton Wanderers. With three games left, they could actually make history! Manager Chris Davies was understandably thrilled, praising the team’s efforts and highlighting players like Alex Cochrane (with that amazing goal!) and Lee Myung-jae, whose debut was seriously impressive. It shows the depth and quality of their squad. Their next matches against Mansfield, Blackpool, and Cambridge United will be crucial. It’s going to be nail-biting stuff!
The Bigger Picture
Birmingham's victory over Stevenage was a masterclass in consistent performance and tactical brilliance. Stevenage played well, but Birmingham’s relentless pressure and clinical finishing proved too much. Their pursuit of a record-breaking season is truly captivating, and they're definitely a force to be reckoned with in the Championship next season. This is a team to watch!
