Birmingham manager Gianfranco Zola told Sky Sports: "I thought it [Paul Robinson's red card] was a little bit harsh, but I will have a look and if we need to take action we will do.
"The win is strong evidence that this team is alive. They want to fight, but we need to continue. We want to win more games like this.

"This week we pulled together. We thought, let's just go back to basics.

And breathe...
FT: Wolves 1-2 Birmingham City
The first half was pretty lifeless but brought two goals. The second half was much more derby-like and could have ended with five or six.
Wolves will feel they should have taken at least a point after a frantic final 30 minutes following Birmingham defender Paul Robinson's silly red card.
Robinson will be one very relieved man.

YELLOW CARD

Nouha Dicko enjoyed that goal. He had every right to. He's had terrible luck with injuries in recent times and that's his first league goal since the final game of the 2014-15 season.
The Wolves substitute has been a real threat since coming on at the break.

Wolves 1-2 Birmingham City
It's been pretty fiery at times and there's been plenty of squabbling in the box while we have been awaiting various free-kicks and corners.
Calm heads are needed otherwise we could see more red cards.
