Chris Davies said it was a “special night” for Birmingham City
Birmingham City Head coach Chris Davies talk after their victory on Tuesday evening:
“They were amazing. We put the team together from scratch, really – there were six or seven who stayed but there were 17 new players.
“I train them, but I’m not surprised, I left them gel and they met so well.
“They get well, have a great spirit, but we have signed good characters.”
“For too long this club had players who were not the right character – basically the club would disappoint.

“They were exceptional because don’t forget, every game this season, at home or away, was expected to win.
“There is no team in the country that had to deal with it every week, we have, and they dealt with it great.”

For most of the season for Birmingham City, the cruise was promoted. They lost only three games with all the campaign and could be set to break the record for most wins and most of the third level points.

Currently, Birmingham has 95 points of 40 games. This season they could still get a maximum of 113 points and have only nine points from the last six games to make a record.
Birmingham also has 29 wins this season. The third level record is 32 wins, determined by Aston Villa in 1971/72. Blues must win four of their last six games to beat it.
Could they beat the total record record?

- 29 league wins – beating 26 wins in the 2006-07 Championship under Steve Bruce.
Blues cruise in the third level, but could they get back to each other?
Editor Sky Sports EFL Simeon Gholam:
“This is the positivity that has swirled around St Andrew this season, it is easy to forget that it is a club that has just suffered almost a historical descent to League One – their first charm in the third level of almost 30 years.
“Last season, errors were made, especially in terms of proceedings, but the new owners worked hard to restore the relationship between the club and fans who dispersed during the previous era.
“While the owners clarified their long -term plans to rejuvenate the club and the area, they also did not forget the short -term horizon.
“The winning games also helped, of course. The club, who spent the best part of the decade of pedal water at the championship, sailed to promotion in League One.
“A lot of money has also been spent on the playing group: for example, £ 15 million+ on Jay Stansfield is the unprecedented League One Club.
“It hasn’t been long since we saw Ipswich achieved promotional actions from League One to Premier League. There is growing between blues that there is something similar to the horizon.”
