Birmingham’s Lewis Koumas speaking to Sky Sports:

“It was good. Good to get a start. Really happy we’ve managed to get the win today.”

On his goal: “Great vision from Pat [Roberts]. I just tried to stay calm to finish it off and I did. So happy.

“We’ve been training hard, working hard. We trust the gaffer and he’s got the win for us today, helping us come into the game ready.”

Birmingham debutant Kai Wagner speaking to Sky Sports:

“I was joking before the game a little bit with Marvin [Ducksch] to be in the right spot, just give me the ball.

“He said just give me a one touch finish, so really excited. One training session that’s it, but I don’t need a lot. I know what I can do. Really proud today.”

Here’s how fans reacted to the much needed win for Birmingham after beating Coventry 3-2 to ease pressure on Chris Davies…

@lennonkian_: What a ridiculous game of football. Very impressive debut performance by Kai Wagner. Ducksch back amongst the goals with some superb finishes. Much needed win against the league leaders which was only their 4th loss of the season. Let’s hope we can build on this performance #bcfc

@ToweringZigic: It hasn’t worked for him here, but on a human level I’m pleased Koumas got that moment. Great goal too. Wagner looks incredibly promising too. On the whole, everybody really dug in today I thought. Cov are a powerhouse of a team and any win against them is absolutely superb #BCFC

@ToweringZigic: Superb attacking in the first half, and superb defending in the second. CD takes a lot of pelters, but Cov really struggled to open us up after the tactical change IMO. A really galvanising win for the whole club – it feels like we’ve needed that for weeks #BCFC

@RobPUSB: 8th game of awful football and just as bad results. Lampard has no plan B and these players are shot of confidence. Defence a joke today. Doug you need to put your hand in your pocket. You’re having us fans on you tight cunt.

@jmilbs94: Got to sort these fucking performances out, Birmingham are a poor side we can’t be losing games like this

@bcfcmaim: worst team ever seen at st andrews thanks for the 3 points see ya fucking later

@cov_t0: I don’t understand… I’m going insane. Every game when we’re in attack we do fuck all with the ball, when we’re defending we invite the opposition into empty space. What the fuck has happened??? We weren’t playing like this a month ago. Bottling it again ole ole if we continue.

@CharPUSB: Was always going to be a blip at some point this season. We’re in the middle of it. What doesn’t help is Bobby’s stupidity. Jan signings can’t come quickly enough, gotta back to winning ways against Leicester

@randomitfcfan: We started your downfall, your actually going to bottle it 🤣🤣

@PUSB_PUSB: Takes off the only one trying. Brings on Andrews. Keeps on Rudoni stinking the gaff out. Lampard favouritism is going to cost us.
