On a Tuesday evening in Birmingham, a football club took one quiet step toward reclaiming a piece of its own history. Birmingham City dispatched Cheltenham Town 2-0 in the Carabao Cup first round — a composed, unhurried performance that belied the longer story beneath it: a club that won this very competition in 2011 and has reached the second round only twice in the eight seasons since. Progress, however modest, carries meaning when measured against the distance from a former peak.
