The winners and losers from Birmingham City’s first 13 matches under Chris Davies

With nine victories from their first 13 games of the season in all competitions, Birmingham City has had a great start

to the campaign.

Under Chris Davies, Birmingham City has had an excellent start to the season with nine victories, two ties, and two

losses.

With a plethora of new additions, the new manager has completely changed the Blues’ playing philosophy and put

them on track for an early return to the Championship. Additionally, Blues are poised nicely in the Bristol Street

Motors Trophy.

Motors Trophy.

Klarer has undoubtedly been the main beneficiary of the Blues’ outstanding start. The Austrian had anticipated

playing second fiddle to Dion Sanderson during the season, but Sanderson’s premature red card gave him the

opportunity.

Klarer took everything by storm and aced every exam. It is hardly surprising that Klarer, who received 28% of the

votes in our poll, is the Blues player who has wowed supporters the most.

The partnership of Klarer and Krystian Bielik in the middle of Blues’ defence appears to be one that could carry the

club through not only League One, but the Championship too.

Alex Cochrane

Cochrane is the last remaining League One ever-present in Davies’ squad. Granted, he currently has no competition

for his place, but Cochrane has performed so consistently that we haven’t longed for Lee Buchanan.

The summer signing from Hearts now has the left-back shirt and it’s difficult to envisage Buchanan getting it back easily when he returns. Cochrane also produced one of the assists of the season to set up Jay Stansfield against

Wrexham.

Taylor Gardner-Hickman

Of the 17 players that arrived during the summer, Gardner-Hickman wasn’t one who set pulses racing (with all due

respect). Blues signed a very capable Championship midfielder but it’s at right-back where Gardner-Hickman has

excelled.

The 22-year-old has made himself popular with Blues fans with his wholehearted displays and long may it continue.

Paik Seung-ho

Under Davies, Paik has developed into the centre of the Blues team.Paik was never going to be sold, as Davies

recently emphasised, and the South Korean has now been rewarded for his dedication with a new contract and an

international recall.
