Birmingham City manager Chris Davies made a bold tactical decision at half-time during their match against Peterborough, substituting Emil Hansson and Lyndon Dykes for Keshi Anderson and Scott Wright. Despite Hansson’s strong first-half performance, including setting up Willum Willumsson’s goal and creating a great chance for Dykes, Davies felt a change in energy and dynamics was needed.
Davies explained: “It wasn’t anything Emil or Lyndon did wrong. I just wanted fresh energy and a new dynamic.” He moved Willumsson into midfield and Jay Stansfield to striker, while Anderson and Wright brought something different to the wings.
The substitutions proved effective, with both players contributing to Birmingham’s thrilling 3-2 comeback win, extending their winning streak to six and moving them to the top of League One. Davies praised his team’s aggression, discipline, and relentless approach in the second half, emphasizing the importance of scoring early and maintaining their focus. His changes and half-time team talk were key to turning the game around.
