Lewis Koumas is happy to let his Birmingham City<\/a> loan run for now after finally finding favour under Chris Davies.<\/a><\/p>\n Koumas<\/a> followed up his goal against Coventry City with another positive performance in Saturday night\u2019s FA Cup<\/a> success over Cambridge United.<\/p>\n The 20-year-old winger is having a run in his favoured left-wing position with Demarai Gray out injured<\/a> and his confidence is rising.<\/p>\n \u201cGetting a goal, especially against a team like Coventry, boosts your confidence instantly,\u201d Koumas told BirminghamLive.<\/strong> \u201cMe being a confidence player, I need that to go and perform freely without any sort of pressure on my back.\u201d<\/p>\n Koumas has only started five of his 21 Championship appearances for Blues and he could have no arguments about playing second fiddle to Gray during the Brummie\u2019s purple patch.<\/p>\n It was presumed Koumas would be recalled by Liverpool this month but no one is rushing into a decision, despite this not being the loan everyone hoped for after his Championship breakthrough at Stoke City last season.<\/p>\n \u201cLast year I played 49 games and started a big majority of them,\u201d said Koumas. \u201cIt’s been a different start this year but whenever I get put in I\u2019m ready to give my best.<\/p>\n \u201cI really like the gaffer. He sees my attributes well. We spoke about it before I came in and I\u2019ve been working hard in training for months and months now, just so I\u2019m ready when I go on the pitch.\u201d<\/p>\n There are four more Championship matches to play in January and Gray isn\u2019t due to return until February, meaning Koumas could be set for an extended run in his preferred position.<\/p>\n Koumas and Liverpool will likely want assurances from Davies that his game-time won\u2019t evaporate once Gray returns but for now, the winger seems content.<\/p>\n He added: \u201cWe\u2019ve obviously had conversations (with Liverpool) but I\u2019m keeping my head down, working hard and we\u2019ll see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n Get the latest Blues headlines sent straight to your phone<\/p>\n BirminghamLive has its very own Birmingham City<\/a> WhatsApp community to deliver the latest headlines straight to your phone.
