"I thought we deserved it today. We created a lot of chances and could have won by more," said Coleman to the media after the game.
"Birmingham did have their moments but overall I thought we deserved the three points so I am delighted.
"There was a lot of enthusiasm in our performance and, to a man, I thought we were magnificent.
"As for promotion, our aim this season is to finish in the top half.
"Every team can beat every other team in this division but likewise you can be beaten by every team as well.
"But there are about 12 or 13 games left and if we go on a good run, who knows?"
