As such, things are looking good so far for Davies’ Blues. They are set to take on Charlton Athletic, who have lost their last three league games, at The Valley on Saturday – can Birmingham add another three points to their tally?

Don Goodman Make A Stunning statement about Birmingham City under Chris Davies
Speaking in an interview, Goodman said: “The way Birmingham City play all comes from Chris Davies. I’ve seen clips of him in training and you can see that they are playing exactly the way he wants them to.
“Chris Davies is doing a brilliant job and, even though Birmingham have spent a lot of money, I hope he still gets the credit that he deserves. Although he has a good group to work with, he has still needed to implement a style of play and his authority.
“I often say Pep Guardiola doesn’t get the credit he deserves as people look at the money spent as opposed to how he improves players and implements tactics. I hope that doesn’t happen with Chris Davies.”
How have Birmingham performed so far this season in League One?
Currently, Birmingham are sitting at the top of the League One table with 22 points from eight games. The team in second, Wrexham, are five points behind the Blues at the time of writing.
Additionally, Birmingham are also the joint top scorers in the division, with 17 goals – only Blackpool can claim to have scored as many as this. With eight goals conceded, they have a goal difference of +9.
Furthermore, their fixture list up to this point has been far from smooth sailing. They have played (and beaten) teams such as Rotherham United, Huddersfield Town and Peterborough United, all of whom were touted as possible promotion candidates at the beginning of the season. This is Davies’ first job in senior team management – it has been a dream start for him thus far.
