Player Ratings: Birmingham City 0-0 Wolves

Replaced the rested Myhill and had just one fairly easy save in the first half, blocking an Ebanks-Blake shot at his near post, but he was needed at the end to make a brilliant double save by first tipping Jarvis' shot on to the post and then getting up quickly to deny Fletcher with fantastic athleticism. Winded himself after an excellent take from a cross.

Called into action more than Murphy on the other flank, the former West Ham man looked solid and did not allow Hunt or Jarvis to get much joy as they attempted to target one of their strikers in the area.

A commanding presence at the back with high balls aimed into the Birmingham half as he kept Doyle and Ebanks-Blake quiet for the most part. He allowed the latter to break past him on one occasion and test Doyle but it was a rare slip-up.

Never allowed Doyle a sniff, but lost out to Johnson from one corner and was fortunate to see the header go over the bar.

With Redmond being tightly marked, the left-back was able to deliver quite a few balls into the box which tested the Wolves defence. One in particular saw Mutch fire over. Defensively he did well in the first half but failed to close Kightly down as the winger set up Ebanks-Blake for a gilt-edged chance.

Playing on the right, Elliot was not afraid to run at Ward and put the ball into the area to begin with but his crosses lacked penetration with just Rooney to aim for and he soon found himself pressed more into defensive duty than he would have liked.

Deployed behind Rooney, Mutch failed to get into the game bar one shot over the bar and he could not make enough late runs into the area to support the lone striker.

The small, lively midfielder plays in a similar style to Ramires, darting into space and looking to run at defenders. Began the game well with Birmingham pressing for a goal but with Wolves having the majority of possession he was unable to influence the game going forward.

The exciting youngster was put on the left but found himself surrounded whenever he got the ball. There were plenty of step-overs and tricks on show but he gave the ball away on a few occasions looking to take on the Wolves defence. Tested De Vries with one effort which was easy for the keeper.

Left on his own up front it was a frustrating afternoon with Johnson (until he went off) and then Berra dominating him in the air with whatever balls came in from wide areas.

Like his opposite number he was virtually a by-stander in the first half with just one easy Redmond shot to save and another in the second half

Dealt with the threat of Redmond fairly well thanks to support from the midfield. Pushed into the centre of defence with Johnson going off, he proved equally adept.

Back at his former club, the Wolves skipper was taunted by the home fans and there were loud cheers when he headed a Kightly corner over the bear. However, he had to go off in the first half after landing awkwardly and hurting his ankle but he showed in his clearing of everything thrown into the Wolves penalty area why Mick McCarthy bought him in the first place.

Was confident alongside Johnson at the back and cleaned up everything thrown into the box as Birmingham failed to test De Vries.

Had Elliot run at him early on and failed to prevent the ball getting into the box but the left-back tightened things up and managed to get himself forward on occasions to support the wingers.

Given a chance after finishing his loan spell at Watford, the winger looked much more comfortable when pushed on the left but second half he started back on the right and caused the Birmingham defence some problems with his trickery before delivering an excellent centre to Ebanks-Blake who hit his shot over.

Showed his class in midfield where he looked comfortable in possession and prevented Mutch from being able to influence play behind Rooney.

His first contribution in a Wolves shirt was to shoot over but he gradually settled into the game and proved a good foil to Henry as Wolves took control of the midfield area.

The man who scored the goal which sealed Birmingham's relegation was booed to begin with but despite running at Stearman down the left he could not find a way past the full-back. When switched to the right he tracked back well to help out the defence.

The livewire up front, the returning striker did not have things his own way against Davies but he looked the most threatening of all the front men on show. Created one chance after battling past Davies but could only shoot straight at Doyle but missed a glorious opportunity when he fired over inside the area with just the goalkeeper to beat.
