Blues boss Davies apologises for Brentford hammering

Birmingham City manager Chris Davies has acknowledged his team's heavy defeat against Brentford, apologising to fans for Tuesday night's 6-1 home loss. This marks the club's heaviest defeat since a 6-1 loss to Hull City in September 2017, and the worst home defeat since a 8-0 loss to Bournemouth in October 2014. Davies expressed his remorse, stating, "I can only apologise to the fans that came and spent their money coming to the club to watch their team tonight.

That's not what any of us want." The match was played under the guidance of Davies, who had taken over as caretaker manager following Lee Clark's departure. While Brentford fielded a weaker team, Davies acknowledged the size of the challenge, saying, "The gulf was too big." BBC Radio WM Blues reporter Richard Wilford added that this loss will increase the pressure on Davies, considering the team's recent poor performance, including a winless start to the new Championship season.
