I just tried to stay calm to finish it off and I did. So happy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">\u201cWe\u2019ve been training hard, working hard. We trust the gaffer and he\u2019s got the win for us today, helping us come into the game ready.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b class=\"ssrcss-cgjb6m-Keyword e2vephq0\">Birmingham debutant Kai Wagner speaking to Sky Sports:<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">\u201cI was joking before the game a little bit with Marvin [Ducksch] to be in the right spot, just give me the ball.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">\u201cHe said just give me a one touch finish, so really excited. One training session that\u2019s it, but I don\u2019t need a lot. I know what I can do. Really proud today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here\u2019s how fans reacted to the much needed win for Birmingham after beating Coventry 3-2 to ease pressure on Chris Davies\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>@lennonkian_<\/strong>: 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\u2019s hope we can build on this performance #bcfc<\/p>\n<p><strong>@ToweringZigic<\/strong>: It hasn\u2019t worked for him here, but on a human level I\u2019m 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<\/p>\n<p><strong>@ToweringZigic<\/strong>: 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 \u2013 it feels like we\u2019ve needed that for weeks #BCFC<\/p>\n<p><strong>@RobPUSB<\/strong>: 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\u2019re having us fans on you tight cunt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>@jmilbs94<\/strong>: Got to sort these fucking performances out, Birmingham are a poor side we can\u2019t be losing games like this<\/p>\n<p><strong>@bcfcmaim<\/strong>: worst team ever seen at st andrews thanks for the 3 points see ya fucking later<\/p>\n<p><strong>@cov_t0<\/strong>: I don\u2019t understand\u2026 I\u2019m going insane. Every game when we\u2019re in attack we do fuck all with the ball, when we\u2019re defending we invite the opposition into empty space. What the fuck has happened??? We weren\u2019t playing like this a month ago. Bottling it again ole ole if we continue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>@CharPUSB<\/strong>: Was always going to be a blip at some point this season. We\u2019re in the middle of it. What doesn\u2019t help is Bobby\u2019s stupidity. Jan signings can\u2019t come quickly enough, gotta back to winning ways against Leicester<\/p>\n<p><strong>@randomitfcfan<\/strong>: We started your downfall, your actually going to bottle it \ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n<p><strong>@PUSB_PUSB<\/strong>: Takes off the only one trying. Brings on Andrews. Keeps on Rudoni stinking the gaff out. Lampard favouritism is going to cost us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Birmingham\u2019s Lewis Koumas speaking to Sky Sports: \u201cIt was good. Good to get a start.
