A number of Birmingham City supporters have been praising the recent form of defender Marc Roberts following his display in the Blues' 2-0 win away at Middlesbrough.

Lee Bowyer's side went into the game aiming to build on their much-needed win against Swansea City last time out in the Championship. They were able to follow that performance up with another solid display that saw them able to finish off the moments they created to take all three points.

Roberts once again delivered an improved performance in the back three alongside the likes of George Friend and Dion Sanderson. The defender marshalled the back line well and showed his leadership skills to ensure that the Blues remained organised and prevented Middlesbrough from breaking them down.

In total, Roberts managed to make six clearances, two interceptions and two tackles as he helped to knock back any efforts Middlesbrough could muster to get back into the game. While he also registered his second goal of the campaign to show that he can be a threat going forwards as well when needed.

Many Birmingham fans were thrilled with Roberts' continued improvement in recent weeks and they believe he is looking back to his best now.
