Blues squad is 'easily top-six quality' - Robinson

Jack Robinson spent seven seasons with Sheffield United before moving to Birmingham City on the final day of the summer transfer window

Birmingham City have a squad that is "easily top-six" quality says recent arrival Jack Robinson.

The 32-year-old centre-back joined Blues on transfer deadline day and, at the time, said the stature and ambition of the club, following their record League One title-winning season last term, was the main reason he moved from Sheffield United.

It is a sentiment he has echoed after making his debut as Blues snapped their run of three defeats in a row in all competitions with a 1-0 win over Swansea, thanks to substitute Lyndon Dykes' late header.

"It's easily a top-six squad," Robinson, who won promotion to the top flight with the Blades in 2022-23, told BBC Radio WM.

"I suppose it's down to us players to prove that.

"We've got a really strong bench - I'd say Premier League players coming on to help us and they make a massive difference when they come on.

"We've got to be consistent throughout the league. It's a tough ask when the international breaks stop in November - the season gets hard and that's where you need to be consistent and pick up those wins.

"Be good away from from home and nice and solid at home and this squad has more than enough to go at this season."
