The chants heard from the travelling aways fans were: “Get out of our club, get out of our club, Wayne Rooney, get out of our club.”

Speaking to BirminghamLive after the defeat, Rooney was asked about the chants made by his own fans, “Not the result we wanted. Knew it was going to be a tough game. Started well until the first goal. Caused them problems in transition. Not clinical enough with the opportunities we had.

“First goal big difference to the game. Changed the system with three CBs. Cannot leave Bamford free in the six-yard box because he will punish you. I am a fighter and I get football is about opinions.
