Managerless Birmingham were held to a draw at St Andrew's by Rotherham.

The visitors took the lead after 16 minutes when ex-Aston Villa striker Alan Lee headed home from John Mullin's free-kick.

But two goals in six minutes either side of half-time from Michael Johnson and Geoff Horsfield put Birmingham in the driving seat.

Johnson bundled the ball home from a corner on the stroke of half-time.

Then Horsfield delighted the biggest 28,436- strong crowd - the biggest of the season at St Andrew's - by shooting Birmingham into the lead.

But minutes later, after Rotherham were awarded a hotly disputed corner, Swailes rose above a static Birmingham defence to head home Rotherham's equaliser.
