Panos Pavlakis

Capitalising on Success

Blues continued their fine run of form yesterday, beating Queens Park Rangers 2-1 thanks to a header from Paul Robinson and a Paul Caddis penalty. The result leaves them level on points with 2nd place on 21, and as the second highest goalscorers in the Championship with 18 – only QPR with 19 have more.

The transfer window may have now officially opened but it’s still very quiet at St Andrew’s. Despite links to a few players – including Christian Ribeiro of Exeter City yesterday, Blues have yet to sign a senior player this transfer window – a sea change from this point last year when Blues were about to make it a round half-dozen with the signings of David Edgar and Gavin Gunning.

Transfer deadline day reached an anti-climactic conclusion with Birmingham City resisting all attempts by Bournemouth to prise away teenage winger Demarai Gray. Despite making a fifth bid believed to be in the region of £5mil, Blues turned it down flat saying that the 18-year-old wunderkind was not for sale.
