MANAGER Lee Bowyer praised matchwinner Lukas Jutkiewicz for his patience after Birmingham beat Blackpool.

Jutkiewicz scored the only goal in the 81st minute after coming on as a substitute six minutes earlier for Troy Deeney. ‘I spoke to him and said it’s been tough for him,’ said Bowyer. ‘He’s a good pro.’ Blackpool head coach Neil Critchley admitted his team got what they deserved. ‘We didn’t do enough,’ he said.
