Birmingham City head into the final stretch of the season with one more record in sight, adding a glimmer of positivity to a challenging campaign. With a final fixture looming, Blues have the chance to surpass their previous Championship clean sheet tally, needing just one more shutout to set a new club record for a single season. The defensive unit, bolstered by consistent performances from goalkeeper John Ruddy and centre-backs like Dion Sanderson, has been a rare bright spot during an otherwise turbulent year.
However, questions remain over the future of Icelandic international midfielder Alfie Willumsson. Signed with promise, Willumsson has yet to make a substantial impact at St Andrew’s, with his playing time limited since arriving. Fans and analysts alike are curious whether he fits into the club’s long-term vision or if a move away could be imminent in the summer transfer window. His technical ability is evident, but consistency and tactical adaptation remain areas for improvement.
As Birmingham City prepare for a critical summer both on and off the pitch, the focus is split between ending the season on a high with a record-breaking defensive mark and resolving key squad questions—including the future of Willumsson. Will the Blues solidify or start anew?
