Chris Beesley speaks exclusively to Tim Iroegbunam, the Blues man of the moment, ahead of his return to former club Aston Villa:

“This is definitely a huge game for me, it’s the one I’ve been excited for. I just can’t wait to play. It’s football and things go the way they do but I didn’t really get much of a chance or show my true self at Villa. I have been able to do that here so it’s a chance for me to show what I can do.

Obviously there’s frustration about not getting more chances at Villa but the game it’s hard at times and there’s nothing you can do about it, you’ve just got to take your opportunities when they come and perhaps I didn’t full take them with two hands.” [Echo]
