Blues have not had the pleasure of the Staffordshire-based official refereeing any of their games so far this season.
The last time Phil Dowd took charge of a Blues game was in our Premier League away game against Mnchester City on 11th April 2010. Keith Fahey, Roger Johnson and Cameron Jerome were the three Blues players booked in our 5-1 defeat at Eastlands on that occasion. In total, Phil Dowd has taken charge of 7 games so far this season in which he has handed out 30 yellow cards and 2 reds. Dean Mohared and Ceri Richards will be Phil Dowds' assistants for the game at St Andrews on Saturday afternoon. For a detailed head-to-head between the two sides, click here
