    Birmingham City | Demarai Gray's Brilliance | Charlton Draw | January Transfer Plans

    After a frustrating 1-1 draw with Charlton Athletic denied Birmingham City a fifth straight home win, Mox and Tatts are back to reflect on a game of two halves. The lads discuss the "outstanding" performance of Demarai Gray, who looked a "class apart," but rue the "sloppiness" that allowed Charlton back into the game. They also dive into the dark arts of football, debating the growing trend of goalkeepers feigning injury to break momentum – and Tatts shares a radical solution involving the centre circle! Looking ahead to a tough away trip to Sheffield United, the conversation turns to the "away day malaise." How should Chris Davies set up? Does Lyndon Dykes need to start to provide the missing physicality? Finally, with the January transfer window looming, Mox reveals that Blues are set to "flex their muscles" with a potential "shuffling of the loan pack." Who stays, who goes, and what positions are the priority?
