Birmingham City’s faith in Chris Davies is starting to pay off as Blues hit winning form

Writer Charlie Hodgson argues that Birmingham City's decision to back manager Chris Davies is paying off following an impressive run of form. After winning just one of their opening six league fixtures, the Blues have recovered by earning four wins from their last five matches. A 3-0 victory over QPR on October 17 lifted Birmingham to fourth place in the Championship with 20 points from 11 games.

Hodgson highlights attacking improvements led by Liam Millar and August Priske, who have each scored four league goals, alongside Demarai Gray's three goals. Defensive contributions from Phil Neumann and Christoph Klarer, combined with improved away performances at Derby County and West Bromwich Albion, demonstrate that the squad is evolving into genuine promotion contenders under Davies' leadership.
