The Rise of Will Packwood

Whilst the Blues season so far hasn’t been one to shout about, there have been some pleasing cameos from some of the younger prospects. 19-year-old Will Packwood has come of age this year in a Blues shirt, making his debut in the League Cup match against Barnet and his league debut the Saturday after against Charlton. It’s been a meteoric rise for the young American and one has to wonder how much further he can go this season.

Match previews sponsored by EZE Group - Lifestyle Experts

Today sees Keith Hill’s Barnsley side come to St Andrews to take on a Blues side who have taken seven points from their last three games.
