The defeat was Swansea’s first since they lost at Middlesbrough on the opening weekend of the season.<\/p>\n
Sheehan’s side were on top in the first half at Birmingham, squandering several chances other than Vipotnik’s disallowed goal.<\/p>\n
They lost their grip on the match after the break, however, and Blues were ultimately deserving winners.<\/p>\n
That ended the Swans’ unbeaten run of seven games in all competitions which had already featured late-goal drama, having conceded a 97th-minute equaliser at home to Hull City in the Championship a week earlier before scoring two goals in injury time to stun Nottingham Forest in the EFL Cup on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
“We’ve had a week of downs and ups and another down, but that’s the way it is. The players gave absolutely everything,” Sheehan said.<\/p>\n
“You’re coming to Birmingham, who are in in a good place at home, not lost in a long time, but I think we came here and we caused them some problems.<\/p>\n
“Did we come away from what we were doing well in the first half? Potentially.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
