Davies delighted by Blues' response against Coventry

Birmingham boss Chris Davies was delighted with his side's reaction after they recovered from their New Year's Day mauling by Watford to beat Championship leaders Coventry 3-2.

Davies told BBC Radio WM: "I thought we were really strong today against the league leaders. Nobody gave us a chance today and I thought the boys were fantastic.

"I think they had to show all sorts of sides to themselves. Moments of quality, good goals, run hard, battle, tackle, head, everything."

On two-goal hero Ducksch he said: "We know Marvin's got the quality and I think he was really good. He enjoyed it today, he enjoyed his football today. He moved well and tried to combine and then a fantastic finish for his first goal. When they come over like that, you can easily go safe on those, but he went hard and it went in."
