Birmingham City eased concerns surrounding the future of manager Chris Davies in emphatic fashion by hammering Portsmouth 4-0 at St Andrew’s in a sensational team performance.
It marked Blues’ biggest victory of the season so far, and their most dominant triumph at second-tier level since Lee Bowyer’s side secured a 5-0 win over Luton in August 2021.
Blues boss Chris Davies stated before the game that his side weren’t far from their best levels after a period of gelling together as a team. However, it’s currently a different story for West Brom, who after a bright start have struggled to maintain the desired level of consistency.
The Baggies were held to a 0-0 draw against basement side Sheffield Wednesday, raising concerns amongst the fanbase about Ryan Mason and whether he’s the man to lead the team forward.
Birmingham take on Millwall in another home game on Tuesday while West Brom travel to newly-promoted Charlton needing to produce a better showing. In the meantime, here is a look at the latest supercomputer from Opta, via The Analyst.
