Part of Football League World’s ‘Terrace Talk’ series, this piece offers our FLW Fan Pundits their personal thoughts on the newest breaking news, teams, players, managers, possible signings, and more.

Birmingham City has had a fantastic start to the League One season.

After being relegated from the Championship last season, Birmingham is now playing in the third division of English football for the first time in nearly 30 years, but they appear to be in a very strong position to recover on their first try.

After spending an estimated £24 million during the summer transfer window, including £15 million on Fulham striker Jay Stansfield, many predicted that the Blues would win League One this season. They are currently leading the table after winning nine and drawing two of their first twelve games.

Due to the extensive summer renovation, certain Birmingham players have had limited opportunities in the early going of the season. One player who has dropped in the hierarchy is midfielder Brandon Khela.

After returning from his loan stint at Ross County, Khela had a respectable start to the season. He substituted in the first two league games and scored a fantastic long-range goal in the 1-0 victory at Charlton Athletic in the EFL Cup first round. As a result, Davies chose not to send him out on loan once more this summer.

“Brandon made it quite evident to me that he was eager to demonstrate his abilities and that he is prepared to perform in any role when asked to. I simply felt that his attitude and our chat demonstrated to me that, despite his youth, he has a genuine maturity and a sincere desire to be here and play for this club. In August, Davies told Birmingham Live, “I thought that was great.”

It is unclear, though, if Davies will change his mind about the 19-year-old before the January transfer window because Khela’s playing time has been drastically reduced in recent months and he hasn’t been a part of the league’s matchday squad since about August.

Birmingham City fan pundit on Brandon Khela’s future

Birmingham City supporter Mike Gibbs, who was asked which player he thought would gain the most from a January loan move, stated that Khela would be wise to temporarily go.

“I think the one for me would be Brandon Khela,” Mike replied.

Although he has played a few minutes in the EFL Cup and EFL Trophy, he isn’t really making the first team from a league standpoint.

Under-21 football won’t be sufficient for him at this point in his life; he probably needs to be playing regular first-team games.

Since he performed admirably during his loan last season and the club has high regard for him, I believe his next logical move would be to return on loan, either to a League One or League Two team or, if he’s playing at the highest level there, back up to Scotland.

It would be Brandon Khela in my opinion.
