Blues are top of the Championship - what a feeling as we head into another international break.

Victory in a crunch clash against Swansea City thanks to Jay Stansfield's two goals took them above their rivals.

The game was not without controversy and in episode 62 Colin Tattum and Paul Tait identify what made the difference at St. Andrew's.

There's opposing views on Swansea's red card and the tactical tweaks are analysed by the pair.

Stansfield passed 50 goals for Blues with his double and his role is discussed - is he better as that number nine or a secondary striker?

The last time Blues reached the summit in the second tier was in October 2008 during Alex McLeish's time. There's a look back at that season and what lessons can be learned.

Blues have won six of seven games since the previous international break to catapult themselves ahead of the pack.

But it is ridiculously tight in the division - three points separate the top six - and Blues next match is at Stoke City, who have the same number of points as them.

Can Chris Davies' men stay where they are and last the course? The pair have their say.

Next week, we will go through your dream Blues six-a-side teams - and Taity will reveal his.
