Chris Davies reveals how aware Birmingham City are of breaking Wolves record | OneFootball

The Blues have one thing left to tick off their staggering list of achievements this season.

Birmingham City boss Chris Davies has said that his team are aware of the records that they are still yet to break this season, as they hunt down the League One all-time points record.

Blues had a very busy time of it last week. Within the space of five days they won promotion with a win over Peterborough United, became champions thanks to Wrexham failing to beat Wigan Athletic, and then lost to Peterborough at Wembley in the Vertu Motors Trophy final.

That last piece of silverware is the only piece that Birmingham have failed to pick up this season that they were expected to. They've also broken transfer records multiple times along the way in the 2024/25 campaign and just generally wowed followers of the EFL with how good they've been, even though this level of success was anticipated.

So what else is there for them to do in these final six matches? Well no EFL side has won the league this early in this millennium - 1998 was the last time it was done, to be specific - so you'd think that Birmingham could just coast to the finish line from now. And they could well do that, but they know that they can make history again before the season wraps up.

Chris Davies' makes Birmingham City record-chasing admission

City's midlands rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers currently hold the League One record for most points scored in a season (103). Birmingham are currently on track to clear that bar with ease and reset the standard to 109 points.

It wouldn't be the end of the world if they didn't do it, but their boss has admitted that his players are conscious of the things that they can still achieve.

In his pre-Crawley Town press conference, Davies said: "It was a very unusual week (last week), and, again, I don't think anyone could probably find something similar that's ever happened before, in the sense of promotion on Tuesday, champions on Saturday and a cup final on Sunday. It's hard to really measure what that does, psychologically, to the group.

"What they do know is that the main job is done, which was return the team to the Championship, as title-winners, ideally, and, yes, they've done it and they've done it in style.

"They know that there are records out there that they could meet or break - they're aware of that. But what I really want them to do is enjoy these last six games because they've earned the right to do that.

"I want them to go and play with a freedom, with a competitiveness, as always, but make sure that they really soak it in and enjoy these last six games as champions, because it's very unusual. You mentioned the stat about the team from 1998. Any time in English football, there won't be many teams that have ever done that.

"Six games as champions. What I want them to do is be hungry, absolutely, but go and enjoy playing our football, being the team that got us here and soak up these last few weeks."

Birmingham should beat Wolves' record with ease

Blues are still dealing with some injury issues in the final weeks of the campaign, and they aren't short of fixtures to play in that period, but they shouldn't have to break sweat much in order to hit the 103-point mark. They need to win half of their remaining games in order to level Wolves. That shouldn't be too hard for a team that has won 72.5% of its league matches this season.

They'll be helped by their schedule too. Three sides fighting relegation - the aforementioned Crawley, Burton Albion and Cambridge United - are all still to come, plus three sides who won't have much else to play for - Stevenage, Mansfield and Blackpool. It should be a doddle for Davies' team.
