Birmingham City now know who they'll be facing when this coming season - subject to change - with the fixtures getting released earlier today.

The Blues had a tough season last year with them fighting relegation for much of it thanks to Harry Redknapp and then Steve Cotterill's struggles.

After them, of course, Garry Monk came in and with them playing football, they managed to stay up with a final day win over Fulham confirming their Championship status.

Now, then, the Blues will be looking to step up and get themselves towards the sharper end of the division and it would seem that David Davis is ready to rock after he put this message on Twitter:

Certainly, fans will love this in response to the fixture release and now the players need to deliver on these comments.

It'll be tough, but they'll believe that they can in this most competitive of leagues.

The Verdict

The Blues definitely can get in the play-off race this season as long as they get off to a good start.

They've quality in the squad and a good manager in Garry Monk; there's plenty of decent facets with this squad.

Now, though, they must hard work and deliver it on the pitch.
