“I thought he was excellent,” said Davies. “
He had internationals and didn’t come back to us till fairly late within it all. He was very, very solid.
He picked his moments to break forward, used the ball well, but he’s difficult to beat. He’s been a revelation really this season and the challenge for him is to stay hungry and keep going.
Bright Osayi-Samuel is a leading contender for Blues’ Player of the Season so far. He has started every game and is displaying a level of physical fitness that he simply didn’t have last season.
