Chris Davies’ Blues continue to find life back in the Championship more difficult than they had imagined in pre-season, whereas their opposition, Hull City, are enjoying a fantastic start to the campaign after flirting with relegation last time out. The home side suffered their fourth consecutive game without a victory in a chaotic 3-2 defeat that saw a Jack Robinson own goal, a sending-off for dissent, a goal for Jay Stansfield, a stoppage-time Hull header, and a massive officiating blunder where the referee booked the wrong player. While the drama was excellent, for Birmingham, questions will now be asked of Davies and his high-profile squad, while Hull can bask in an unexpected position in the thick of the play-off race.

The twists and turns of a dramatic international break are over and it’s back to business as usual here at Tipple - this week the Big Bet focuses on the battle for the play-off spaces in the fourth tier as Bromley travel to Cambridge in this Saturday’s early kick-off.
