The Verdict

Bellingham has been excellent for Birmingham so far this season. He's clearly a special talent and he's really impressed me with how quickly he's adapted to the Championship.

He thoroughly deserved to win the award and I'm sure he'll appreciate this message from Bailey - another promising young player.

Bellingham is building a reputation as one of the brightest young talents in the country and he'll need to learn to handle the pressure that comes with that.

He's got to make sure he remains grounded, but if he can do that, he could have a very bright future ahead of him.
