Chris Davies Leads Birmingham City to Victory and Shares Celebrity Advice
Birmingham City’s recent 3-1 win over Wrexham has been hailed as their best performance of the season by manager Chris Davies. The Blues put on a stellar display at St Andrew’s @ Knighthead Park, in front of an A-List directors’ box, to secure a crucial victory that saw them move up to second place in League One, just behind Wrexham on goal difference with a game in hand.
Debutants Jay Stansfield and Tomoki Iwata were the stars of the show, with Stansfield scoring twice on his second league debut for the club. The summer signing, who is Blues’ and League One’s costliest ever player, showcased his talent with two clinical finishes that left the opposition reeling. Davies was full of praise for Stansfield, highlighting not just his goals but also his overall contribution to the team.
Davies emphasized the importance of performance over results, stating, “For us, it’s about making sure the performances are there and we play well. If we do that, we will get the outcomes that we want, which is results obviously. The performance was excellent. It was probably the best we’ve played for the longest period in a game this season.”
The presence of high-profile guests in the directors’ box added an extra layer of excitement to the match. Tom Brady and David Beckham were spotted in the blue corner, while Hollywood actor and Wrexham owner Rob McElhenney sat in the red corner. Despite the star-studded audience, Davies remained focused on the task at hand and made sure his team stayed grounded amidst the external distractions.
“I really don’t pay any attention to that stuff,” Davies said. “I had no idea what was going on and who was going to be here because that’s not my domain. What’s important is what we do in training and how we approach the games. I’m pleased for the club that we’ve had the right kind of attention that we deserve. All that stuff for me is no real interest.”
The victory over Wrexham not only showcased Birmingham City’s on-field prowess but also highlighted their ability to handle external pressures and maintain their focus on the game. Davies credited the team’s solid performance to their unwavering concentration and dedication to their training regime.
As Blues continue to climb the League One table, the question on everyone’s mind is whether they have what it takes to win the league. With their recent display of skill and determination, Birmingham City certainly look like strong contenders for the title. Only time will tell if they can maintain their momentum and secure the ultimate prize at the end of the season.
