After being dropped in February during a seven-game unbeaten run, Neumann’s reinstatement has coincided with a notable improvement in the team’s defensive solidity. Despite an unlucky loss to Ipswich Town on Easter Monday, Blues bounced back emphatically with a commanding victory over Wrexham, highlighting the positive impact of Neumann’s return.
