Jay Stansfield has reached a crucial crossroads in his Birmingham City career

Jay Stansfield faces a pivotal moment at Birmingham City after experiencing a dip in goalscoring form following a strong start. The striker, who scored eight goals in his first 15 Championship games after a 20-plus goal season in League One, has scored only three times in his subsequent 40 appearances.

Despite the recent scoring drought, Birmingham manager Chris Davies praised Stansfield's attitude, work rate, and four assists, maintaining his spot in the starting XI. Davies and former captain Troy Deeney previously highlighted Stansfield's potential to eventually earn senior England caps following his Under-21 European Championship success.
