Birmingham is a puzzle. In population it is the second city. Liverpool and Manchester are smaller and yet each have two great clubs. Something seems to hold Aston Villa back even when they have ambitious managers - Mercer, Docherty, Atkinson, O'Neill.
Birmingham City fare worse. They are a yoyo club. Since modern football - the end of the maximum wage - they have had one really great player. They sold Trevor Francis to Nottingham Forest a team from a much smaller city.
When Man City were relegated a few years ago and when Man U were relegated in the 1970s this was seen as amazing and they soon bounced back. No one seems surprised that Birmingham City is in the Championship.
Why?

When the Aston Expressway and underpasses are free of roadworks and you can pass right through from one side of the city to the other in minutes Birmingham is perfectly understandable. When not, puzzling would be too soft a word.
I blame it on the fact that Brum has more miles of canals than Venice.
I'd keep Schlupp in at left back - he clearly doesn't rate Bakayogo. Odd signing.
I'm keen that we see players like Sesay, Dodoo, Cain or Panayiotou on the bench instead of Waghorn who, again, just seems to hang around the place like a vegetarian's fart - being neither a first teamer or an up and coming prospect.
Schmeichel
De Laet Morgan Moore Schlupp
King James
Knockaert
Vardy Wood Dyer

I don't know how many times I've heard people say this about Bakayogo.
He had no pre-season and is playing catch-up with fitness.
