Birmingham City boss Chris Davies spoke to BBC Radio WM after the 3-0 win over Millwall lifted Blues up to second in the Championship.

"Getting a margin in a game is wonderful because you have a cushion to work with. Getting a goal after a minute... it's a great strike," Davies said.

"We were well worth it. We were fluid, aggressive in the press, and didn't give them time or a lot away. It was an excellent first half. The second half could have been better, in patches, but I am pleased overall.

"Millwall are a very good team and tricky to play against, with big, strong centre-backs, but there was space around them to exploit. This season we look better at set-pieces but also on counterattacks.

"The league table is temporary at the moment. Two years ago when I came in, this club had been relegated out of the league and were in League One. We have come a long way since then.

"We feel we deserve to be where we are. There is a long way to go but it is nice for us to be up and around the top part of the league and we need to do our best to stay up there."
