Birmingham City Shines: A Dominant Display Against Millwall
Amidst an electric atmosphere at St Andrew’s, Birmingham City exhibited a football masterclass in their latest match against Millwall, strolling to a commanding 4-0 victory. This recent triumph follows on the heels of another impressive win by the same scoreline just four days prior, signalling a meteoric rise in form for the Blues.
Setting the Tone
Full-back Alex Cochrane, who dazzled the crowd with a stunner, shared that the remarkable turnaround in performance stems from an intense focus on the squad’s mentality. Following instructive conversations with manager Chris Davies, the team rectified their approach, displaying an increased intensity and desire to surge forward and create scoring opportunities. Cochrane noted the importance of being clinical in front of goal: “To score four goals again at home - it's a good night.”
Goals Galore
It wasn’t just Cochrane who lit up the scoreboard; from the intricate passing play that led to Paik Seung-ho’s opener to Demarai Gray doubling the lead, Birmingham demonstrated a fluid attacking prowess that has been meticulously honed under Davies' stewardship this season. Cochrane’s own contribution – a spectacular 20-yard volley – marked his inaugural goal at St Andrew’s, a landmark moment he described as particularly gratifying.
Jay Stansfield rounded off the scoring just past the hour mark, ensuring the game was well beyond Millwall's reach and cementing the Blues’ status as a formidable force in the current Championship campaign.
The Winning Mentality
Cochrane’s emphasis on maintaining the right mentality resonates deeply with a Birmingham City tradition of overcoming adversity with fortitude. The team’s commitment to not resting on their laurels – despite their recent dazzling performances – highlights a determined spirit that could very well see them crowned champions this season.
In an ode to the glory days, reminiscent of seasons past when local rivals were often left in the wake of Birmingham’s relentless drive, fans can dare to dream again as the current squad echoes those heroic exploits with every match they dominate.

As Birmingham City looks forward to their next fixture, the shift in atmosphere around St Andrew’s is palpable. Expectations are surging, and rightly so, with performances speaking louder than any pre-season prediction could have.
A Jovial Jab at the Rivals
To wrap up, here’s a light-hearted jest for our local rivals: Why don’t Aston Villa fans play hide and seek? Because good luck hiding when you’re always spotted at the bottom of the table! Ah, it's always a good day to be a Blue.
