After going behind to Zan Vipotnik's first-half strike, Patrick Roberts scored a brilliant goal in the 72nd minute to seal a share of the spoils for Blues on the road.

Despite a strong start for Swansea, it was Birmingham that looked stronger in the closing stages of the match.

Roberts, whose six shots in the draw were a joint-season-high for a Birmingham player, saw an effort blocked before Lewis Koumas failed to hit the target late on.

Only Sheffield Wednesday (seven) have won fewer points away from home than Birmingham (nine) in the Championship this season, but Davies was pleased with what he saw from his side at Swansea.

"It was a hard-fought game, and I thought we fully deserved a point," Davies said.

"I thought if anyone was going to win it, as the game went on it was going to be us but coming away from home it always has to be seen as a good point in the Championship, because there's no easy games.

"We are a team that has been struggling a little bit away from home, so to go and get a point and show that real grit and togetherness again, and resilience, is something to build on.

"Second half, we were much better than the first half. We still had some decent moments around their goal in the first half, but we go down again.

"We didn't look after the ball well enough in those early stages, they had more possession. But second half, we pushed higher up, we were more aggressive in the press, and we forced them into errors.

"We had a lot of possession, pushing them back and I really liked the look of us in the second half, and we looked like the team in the ascendency."

Birmingham remains in 14th in the Championship standings, two points and two places ahead of Swansea.

The Blues face rock-bottom Sheffield Wednesday in another away trip in their next match before hosting Stoke City on 25 January (AEDT).
