'Really good away performance' - Davies
- Published
Birmingham City boss Chris Davies was full of praise for his players' performance in their 1-0 win against Preston North End on Tuesday night.
Blues picked up their first victory since a 1-0 win over Swansea on 20 September, ending their four-game winless run.
"I said to the players that if you are going to win a game like that, there is nothing really better, it's a great feeling," Davies told BBC Radio WM.
"It was a really good away performance - we started brightly, we had a few really good passing moves, looked strong and aggressive in the duels, were dangerous going forward and we scored a good goal from the set-piece.
"As the game went on, we knew we would face some pressure, but I'm really pleased with how the players defended that lead."
German defender Phil Neumann scored the game's only goal, in his first appearance for the club since the 13 September defeat by Stoke City.
"I am really pleased for Phil because he is settling into a new club and a new environment, so that will give him a lot of confidence," Davies added.
"As soon as I saw Michael Smith was on the teamsheet I knew what was coming as we have all seen him play over the years and he does what he does fantastically well, but I thought Phil looked really good aerially, he looked really strong and competed well."
