Franck Queudrue has hailed Gary McSheffrey's recent form for Birmingham and claims they are developing a fruitful partnership together.
The French full-back has only lined up with McSheffrey on three occasions this season, but feels the pair are already coming to an understanding down the left side of the Blues team. And, following last weekend's unfortunate 1-0 defeat to Manchester United, Queudrue believes last season's top scorer and goal provider is now finding his feet in the Premiership.
He told the Birmingham Mail: "I think he had a great game on Saturday. I don't know for how long [he has struggled], but since the season kicked-in, it was his best game.
"He got forward, he put the crosses in the box and threatened. He did the dirty work as well. He helped me a lot. Not just here, but at Liverpool when he came on.
"We all look at the offensive work he does, but he also comes back and works his socks off as well."
He added: "You have to know one another, to get an understanding. When I have got the ball, if I don't give it him straightaway, he has to run inside, things like that.
"You have to have an understanding with your winger. It will come the more you play together."
