Chris Davies

in the league table compared to last season where we are now so that's a plus isn't it the away performance last season was in my opinion it was unacceptable all season you know the odd performance like here and there I can understand but all season when you're on the road and you're playing awful and you've got Blues fans that are spending hundreds of thousands across the year you know it's unacceptable in my opinion so we've kind of knocked that on the head as well so yeah I think we're in a good spot at the minute as well I think I've always supported Knighthead in terms of the appointments and stuff and things like that.

Obviously, Chris Davies, you know, going for a younger manager.

My dad's been a Blue Nose for like 40 plus years, you know, and he said just before we had Rooney and stuff, you know, we need a good young manager to kind of grow with the project and obviously like bringing in Chris Davies, nobody knew who he was.

League One was brilliant.

I know that some people known that the football was boring, but I've always been one of them.

Birmingham City have appointed John Murto as the new director of football.

Murto brings 30 years of experience, including senior roles at Manchester United, Everton and most recently Atalanta.

He'll oversee football strategy, recruitment, player development, working closely with the head coach Chris Davies and the wider team, while also supporting the women's team.

And fair enough.

Chris Davis has done this before.

And generally, we're very good at the start of the second half with the occasional exception.

This was the occasional exception.

They're breaking again and we're struggling to cope with them.

So, I mean, it just carried on like that for a bit, didn't it? And there was a moment.

where I mean Chris Davis passes a note to Marvin Dux writes down on a piece of paper the instruction for him I mean Can you just guess? Take a second touch, Marvin.

Maybe a diagram with the goal is that way.

Yeah, I think Solskjaer did when he became football director.

And what do you think, Chris Davies, will he have an input? And that's the other interesting thing.

That's the thing, isn't it? Yeah,

that's the interesting thing for me.

I don't think they manage anything, they're just coach.

And they leave everything else to the people upstairs, to the sign-ins, the wages and who they bring in.

He'll be interested to see if Chris Davis has any input whatsoever.

I'm sure.

But maybe after the first four games, hadn't really totted up many points.

And people were talking about, like, get Chris Davis out.

I can't go out there and say I know he's a brilliant manager or not.

But... like now to see where they are um almost feels a bit silly for for people to have been asking about because they look like a very solid side um to me which um yeah tough one and the the second goal going in just after just after half time that kind of just killed it off really um I'm sure Julian would have been into them in half-time if we don't concede.

The commentary around their recent run.

One of the first podcasts we did on the Football Betting Club was talking about Chris Davis and actually how he might be in trouble.

If you remember, that was just before they went to Wrexham and won.

Since then, this looks a side that's really benefiting from from a second season in the championship.

It doesn't matter how recently you've been in this division.

I always just think that you are, you spend the first season acclimatizing, getting used to it.

You know, Chris Davis, first time managing in the division, second season, we're seeing it at Swansea.

We're seeing it with like the manager at QPR as well.
