Fulham loanee Jay Stansfield, Birmingham City’s top scorer this season, took exception to chants from the away end at Huddersfield
Jay Stansfield has apologised for how he reacted to chants from the Birmingham City end after Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Huddersfield Town. Blues squandered a fantastic opportunity to put themselves in a strong position heading into the final day of the season as they strive to avoid relegation.
Koji Miyoshi put the Blues ahead at halftime, but the Terriers, who lost on Saturday, quickly replied with Rhys Healey in the second period. Blues must overcome Norwich City on the final day at St Andrew’s next Saturday and rely on other teams’ outcomes to ensure their survival.
Blues fans at the John Smith’s Stadium chanted ‘you’re not fit to wear the shirt’ at squad members after the game. Stansfield was clearly perplexed by the chanting and responded accordingly before being led away by Lukas Jutkiewicz.
On Sunday morning, Fulham loanee Stansfield, who is the club’s top goalscorer with 13 this season and is widely regarded as one of the Blues’ best performers in what has otherwise been another turbulent year, apologised for his actions and delivered a rallying cry ahead of the Norwich game, which will be the final game of his otherwise fruitful loan spell.
“Yesterday was a tough one to take, and I apologise to all Blues fans for how I acted after the game,” Stansfield wrote on Instagram. “The fans have been great all season. We have a big game on Saturday, therefore we all need to stick together. @bcfc.”
