MANAGER Chris Davies wants all of his new arrivals bedded in by the time Blues reach the next international break.

Only three Championship clubs - Derby, Sheffield United and Wrexham - signed more players than Blues during the summer transfer window.

Davies reinforced his squad with 12 new signings following promotion from League One and early results have been mixed. Many of the new faces are attackers and the team has lacked cohesion and creativity in the final third in the last three games.

Despite Davies chopping and changing, James Beadle, Eiran Cashin, Jack Robinson, Kanya Fujimoto and Marvin Ducksch haven't yet started a Championship game. The boss wants to establish his preferred XI in the next four games before Blues break for the second international window next month.

“There've been 30-plus players in the time I've been a manager and there would have been 30 that have left, so that’s 60-plus. There's a lot going on in that sense,” admitted Davies.
