Birmingham boss Chris Davies claims his Blues are answering all of their critics after they beat Oxford 2-0 to stretch their unbeaten run to six games.
Oxford's Myles Peart-Harris scored an own goal before Marvin Ducksch weighed in with his eighth goal of the season and Davies was delighted with his team's display.
Davies told BBC WM: "Obviously. I'm really pleased with the win, but I was thinking before the game that I wanted us to play well, I wanted us to have that level of control in the match.
"I emphasised that during the week and I think you could see that today. There was a good calmness and a good patience to our game. I think we had a good balance to our possession and that gave us a level of control, which I think was massive in winning the match.
"This calendar year we've looked more of a team. That's the first thing I've been emphasising to the players – you've got to be a team, you've got to work hard for each other and that gives you a chance of winning games in this league. We've looked like that in the last few games. Away from home was the question mark, but we've gone and done that. Here again, another clean sheet and a couple of goals and that's really good for the confidence."
