Hi Sportsfans and welcome once again to my Notebook post . A strange week which saw 'the best manager in the league' sacked and adopted Teessider Leo Percovich put in charge on a temporary basis. However, It did seem as though Craig Liddle was pulling the strings from the sidelines from my padded seat in the directors box
Birmingham looked pretty good with the dangerous Deeney and Hogan upfront. They had some decent players on view and should be at least mid table this season.
The Blues looked strong at the back and No.28 Dion Sanderson (on loan from Wolves) and No. 5 Auston Trusty (on loan from Arsenal) worked really hard to keep our forwards in check. Hannibal also caught the eye with his energetic all action style and haircut.
Nobbys Choice No. 18 Tahith Chong was easily the Blues most influential player and caught my eye. Able to find space in a congested midfield he was always on the front foot and dangerous on the half turn. He can carry the ball forward at pace and has great technical ability. Testing Steffen with a couple of long range efforts he was without doubt the main danger for Birmingham.
Age 22, Chong joined the Man United academy age 16 after progressing through the Feyenoord academy system. After featuring for United 5 times they sent him on loan to Werder Bremen and Club Brugge before a loan to Birmingham last season. Signed permanently in September 22 and has represented the Dutch national side at all levels upto U21
Looks another quality player who will end up playing in the Premier League...He's in the Notebook
