Birmingham City 10 points from 12 in Championship, confidence must continue

A fantastic start to the season for Blues.

Transcript

00:00 Charlie, just Leicester City with more points than Birmingham City in the Championship at this time.

00:06 I mean, an incredible start. They are mixing with the big boys at the top.

00:10 They need to take that confidence into Millwall at home.

00:13 Who expected this and what is the current situation at Blues?

00:16 Because it's all seeming quite fantastic really.

00:19 That is exactly what it is. Against Plymouth, our goal last day for that one,

00:23 Jay Stansfield, the young Fulham striker, signed on loan less than 48 hours before he got the winning goal.

00:29 That 95th minute it was, he flicked over a defender's leg and half-volleyed it into the roof of the net.

00:35 An amazing goal. St Andrew's, the roof nearly came off.

00:38 As you say, that's 10 points out of 12 for Birmingham.

00:42 They have been knocked out of the Caribo Cup against Cardiff City.

00:45 A red card for Lucas Djukovic, a club legend.

00:48 A bit of a harsh one perhaps for a late lunge on a Cardiff player.

00:52 But nonetheless, they're out of the Cup.

00:54 I think it could weirdly be a blessing in disguise, although everyone loves a bit of a Cup run.

00:58 Being out of that competition means that Blues can just focus on the league.

01:02 John Eustis has been talking about how he wants to just focus on getting 50 points again and staying in the division.

01:08 But Jay Stansfield, for example, a player who's just come in, he was told the ambition is more top six.

01:15 So I think Blues fans will be very happy to hear that.

01:18 And some amazing signings so far. More to come as well before the end of the window, I'm sure.

01:22 So they can strengthen. It's just about trying to keep up that momentum.

01:25 And the game against Millwall is a tough one.

01:28 They're a club that last season were really fighting for playoffs.

01:32 And they were in playoffs. And this year, I think, although a dodgy start, they'll be trying to do the same thing again.

01:37 So, yeah, tough one at home. But at St Andrews, I think anything can happen.

01:41 And that's what showed against Plymouth.
