Defeat leaves play-offs 'unlikely' - Davies

"I think it would be unlikely that we'd go and make the play-offs with the amount of points we'd have to get. We'd have to have some incredible run, which I know been done here before, but first things first, we need to get back to winning ways."

"It was another disappointing result. We didn't do enough to win the game. It was a game of very, very few chances. We had some decent situations in the second half but didn't capitalise on when we had the momentum."

"It's such a soft way to lose - from a long throw into the box, bouncing ball, scrappy goal. It's very frustrating. We've got to do more. We can't expect to win gets if, in those critical moments, we don't defend well enough."

Birmingham City suffered a 1-0 defeat to Charlton Athletic at The Valley, with Charlie Kelman scoring in the 74th minute from a long throw. The loss marked Birmingham's third consecutive league defeat and occurred in Chris Davies' 100th game in charge since taking over in summer 2024. The result leaves Blues in 12th place, eight points off the top six with 10 games remaining. Davies acknowledged that making the play-offs appears unlikely given the points required, though he emphasized the need to return to winning ways. He criticized his team's defensive performance on the soft goal and noted they failed to capitalize on opportunities when momentum was in their favor.
