Davies 'very pleased' to get back to winning ways

Birmingham City head coach Chris Davies hailed a "very pleasing night" for his side as they moved back into play-off contention with a 1-0 win over QPR.

Blues had lost three in a row before Wednesday evening, but Patrick Roberts' first-half goal earned them a deserved win in a match they dominated.

Davies told BBC Radio WM: "I just said to the players the only thing you could say is we could have got more goals - three or four probably.

"We had 21 shots at goal, first half in particular there was a lot there for us. Even towards the end there were some big chances.

"We should have probably scored more than just one goal.

"I was really pleased with how we played. We have had a few punches in the face in recent weeks and we had to show a certain amount of character tonight.

"I really liked how they did, we had a real intent to our attacking play, our defending was aggressive. [It was] a very pleasing night."

Birmingham, who are now five points off Wrexham in sixth, host Sheffield United on Saturday.
