Town duo Axel Tuanzebe and Conor Chaplin have been named in the Sky Bet Championship Team of the Week following the Blues’ 3-1 home victory over Birmingham City on Saturday with the former Manchester United defender also in the EFL’s select XI from their three divisions.

Tuanzebe put in a solid display at right-back, making seven interceptions, a record for the Championship this season, then laid on Town’s vital second goal for Jeremy Sarmiento.

Chaplin netted the Blues’ first of the afternoon, a deft flick diverting skipper Sam Morsy’s shot past wrong-footed Birmingham keeper John Ruddy.

warwickblue added 16:17 - Feb 26 Congratulations to both players. Fortunately the club is still largely ignored by mainstream/sports media, which I would imagine is just as KM would want it to be. Perhaps they'll realise we're not a "flash in the pan" as we lift the Championship trophy on the final day of the season!

JewellintheTown added 16:29 - Feb 26 Well deserved for both. Chaplins recognition must have been because of his "lucky deflection" according to other teams fans.

Bert added 17:04 - Feb 26 Pleased for both of them. Hutchinson unlucky not to be recognised given he terrorised the opposition on the flank.

Edmundo added 17:35 - Feb 26 Tuanzebe slated by some on Tuesday for not getting up to speed in a bonkers, chaotic match. Looked the business given a start on Saturday: if he gets a run in the team he'll be hard to shift.

Europablue added 18:57 - Feb 26 The problem is that Chaplin has set such high standards, I didn't think he had a particularly good game. We mustn't take it for granted. Tuanzebe was motm for me, with Hutchinson a close second.

WeWereZombies added 20:57 - Feb 26 Would it be fair to say that Nodge players are conspicuous in these teams of the week by their absence ?

Linkboy13 added 09:34 - Feb 27 Don't pay much regard to this just a bit of fun for the younger fans. I doubt if the players even know it exists.
