Gray is 'dangerous' and Kyogo can 'flourish' - Davies

Birmingham City manager Chris Davies believes winger Demarai Gray has hit the ground running since returning to his boyhood club.

Gray has started every Championship match this season and scored his first goal of the campaign on Tuesday, equalising in the 99th minute to earn a 2-2 draw against Sheffield Wednesday.

It extended their unbeaten streak at St Andrew's which now stands at 29 matches.

"[I've told Gray] you're a big signing, we signed you to have big moments and that's a big moment," Davies told BBC Radio WM.

"We are unbeaten at home and that means a lot to me because it's become a fortress for us at home.

"What I love about Demarai is I've given him jobs to do and he'll do it. He is running and running and running for the team and every time he gets the ball he can look dangerous."

In contrast, striker Kyogo Furuhashi is another one of Birmingham City's summer signings but is yet to make an impact.

The 30-year-old is most known for being a prolific goalscorer for Celtic, bagging 85 goals in 165 appearances.

But the Japan international is yet to score in the Championship for Birmingham, only so far bagging in the first round of the League Cup against Sheffield United.

"Kyogo gets himself into some great positions. When one of those [shots] goes in, his whole confidence will lift from there," Davies added.

"I love his energy, I love the way he moves and the runs he makes. He's just got to keep working. When that first [goal] goes in he'll flourish from there."
