Birmingham City secured a massive, much-needed 2-0 victory over Wrexham to fire up hopes of finishing the season with a flourish!
In Episode 43, Colin Tattum and Paul Tait break down exactly how Blues out-battled and out-worked their big-spending opponents, limiting them to zero shots on target. The lads heap praise on the "unplayable" Ibrahim Osman, the influence of natural left-back Kai Wagner, and Carlos Vicente—asking why it has taken so long to see this level of performance from him.
Has Chris Davies finally found the right formula? Tatts and Taity discuss the noticeable shift to a more direct, runner-heavy style, sacrificing possession to do more with the ball. Taity urges the manager to keep a settled side and play August Priske every game to build vital partnerships.
Finally, the boys preview the upcoming trip to Hull City. Expect an extra edge to this one following the October fracas at St. Andrew's, and keep your eyes on the technical area with Sergej Jakirovic!
