Footage of Kyogo after Birmingham City's win v Millwall has got Blues fans talking | OneFootball

The Japanese forward is still yet to score for Blues in a league outing

Footage of Birmingham City's high-profile summer incoming, Kyogo Furuhashi, embracing his side's 4-0 rout over Millwall at St. Andrew's @ Knighthead Park has emerged on social media, with plenty of Bluenoses loving the Japanese forward's commitment to the cause.

That is despite the fact the vastly-experienced centre-forward is still yet to open his Championship account for Blues after his move from Ligue 1 side, Stade Rennais for a reported £10m.

However, it was another satisfactory outing in quick succession for Chris Davies' side, who recorded back-to-back victories in the second tier for the first time since mid-August, having also seen off Portsmouth by the same scoreline on Saturday afternoon.

Seung-ho Paik scored his second in as many games to get the ball rolling for Blues against an in-form Lions side, before Demarai Gray, Alex Cochrane and Jay Stansfield were able to add further gloss on the scoreboard to reflect what was another dominant performance in B9 for the hosts.

Birmingham had come under major criticism during recent weeks and months after sitting within the bottom five sides in the Championship when it came to shots on target and goals scored per match, despite the bundle of attacking and creative talent at Davies' disposal.

Such fears have been eased of late as a collective, although Kyogo is still desperate to net his first league goal for the club, having opened his account in all competitions back in August with a simple tap-in against Sheffield United in the EFL Cup first round.

This feeling is clearly reciprocated by Bluenoses too, who were loving his post-match celebrations in front of the Tilton.

In truth, the night could have got even better for Blues fans had Kyogo made it 5-0, with the 30-year-old missing two strong chances to do so in his 31-minute cameo after replacing Marvin Ducksch.

Millwall goalkeeper, Max Crocombe, was on hand to deny him in a one-v-one situation, before the striker glanced a later header wide from a teasing Patrick Roberts cross.

Despite the forward's personal frustrations over an extended league goal drought, Davies has no doubt that the former Celtic hotshot will eventually come good for the Second City outfit.

However, there were no signs of Kyogo feeling sorry for himself at the full-time whistle, as footage of him giving fist-bumps towards the Tilton circulated from the club's social media channels, as supporters showcased their support towards the tireless striker.

Unsurprisingly, it's footage which got plenty of Bluenoses talking, with one in particular claiming that the big summer signing could still make his way to the 20-goal mark in the remaining 32 games.

Another is simply looking forward to the eruption of noise which will follow when the striker does bag his first goal at St. Andrew's.

Another Bluenose believes the rest of the Championship will look on with envy when Kyogo does find target, predicting a raft of goals to follow.

One fan has commended Kyogo for his well-documented work-rate, stating that he will be "frightening" when in goalscoring form.

And despite the fact an all-important goal has alluded him thus far, Kyogo has earned 'cult-hero' status already, in the eyes of one Blues supporter.

Kyogo Furuhashi can be a difference-maker for Birmingham City when his first Championship goal arrives

It has been a frustrating calendar year for Kyogo, having struggled with Rennes following his January departure from Celtic, where he scored a remarkable 85 times in just 165 appearances.

Many expected the striker to immediately hit it off in the Championship as a result, and it was his arrival which led to many promotion-winning claims from outsiders.

It is alarming that he has missed the joint-highest number of big chances - 9 - in the division alongside Tommy Conway, but it is also a sign that Furuhashi is getting into the right areas, meaning that his confidence will take a huge upsurge when his first goal does come.

In recent times, he has also been limited to substitute appearances, with Blues also looking more efficient at the top end of the pitch through the starting combination of Ducksch and Stansfield, which has led to eight goals in the past two games.

However, when Kyogo does get off the mark, he can finally showcase the difference-maker he could be for Davies in what remains a wide-open second tier.
