BIRMINGHAM'S Stoke old boys John Eustace and Scott Hogan piled yet more home misery on the Potters.
Alex Neil saw his struggling side booed off at a ground which is anything but a fortress and where they have picked up just eight points from nine games.

Veteran defender Phil Jagielka was horribly at fault for the in-form Hogan's first-half goal, and Harlee Dean scored his first for 18 months to double the lead.
Carl Baker pulled one back with a late penalty, but upwardly mobile Birmingham continue to shrug off financial issues surrounding the club.
