Chris Davies has delivered a straight apology to Birmingham City fans following their 6-1 defeat by Brentford.

Callum Wilson opened the scoring for the Bees after six minutes.

Although Demarai Grey pulled the Blues equal in the 28th minute, Keith Andrews’ team regained the lead just six minutes later.

Brentford then tore the hosts apart, expanding their lead with goals from Aaron Hickey, Nathan Collins, Mikkel Damsgaard, and Igor Thiago.

On Sunday, the west London club won convincingly over Tottenham to kick off their Premier League campaign.

They now await the third round draw, which will take place on Wednesday night after the end of Preston vs Everton.

‘A horrible evening’

Following the game, Birmingham City’s manager stated, “My message to supporters tonight is’sorry’.” “I understand how frustrating it is for them. It’s not pleasant.””Losing 6-1 at home was a difficult and disappointing experience for us.”I accept full responsibility for the team’s inability to compete in certain scenarios,

and players will have to accept this on their own.We were defeated by a team that was well ahead of us in every manner. Was 6-1 a fair reflection? Probably.”

Davies remains focused on the club’s goal of promotion to the Premier League, despite the Blues’ difficult start to the Championship season.

So far, they’ve played two goalless draws against Sheffield United and Bristol City.

The Blues, who finished 10th last season, are among the favourites for a long-awaited promotion to the first flight.

They are already preparing for their next game against Wrexham at the Racecourse Ground on Friday night – only three days away.

Because the matchup has been chosen for live television broadcast, the Blues must navigate two competitive matches within a four-day period.

The Red Dragons are currently level with Davies’ team after only gaining two points from the first two games.

However, Phil Parkinson’s side benefits from extra recovery having being knocked out of the Carabao Cup first round by Middlesbrough earlier in August.

Meanwhile, Andrews was completely impressed with his team’s clinical performance.

The Bees’ boss stated, “I didn’t really blink an eyelid making so many changes.

“There is a huge narrative around cup games with coaches making changes but with the squad we have, there are fine margins between who plays and doesn’t play.”We had to work extremely hard to play the game we desired, but I think we did an excellent job overall.”
