Mido didn't get any clear chances to score but he won things in the air and made a few good flick ons.

David Wheater opened his account for the campaign with a powerful header from Andrew Taylor's cross.

Stuart Downing took advantage of woeful Birmingham defending when he was left in acres of space to slot home George Boateng's knock-down.

Birmingham offered little in attack, until late substitute Gary McSheffrey's shot shaved the outside of a post.
Aliadiere and Mido both showed excellent movement and awareness in leading the Boro line, and the Frenchman was denied a deserved goal by Taylor's sharp save.
