Chris Davies wants Birmingham City to carry their recent energy and intensity into Saturday’s home meeting with Swansea City, as Blues seek one more result before the November international break.
The Championship fixture takes place at St. Andrew’s @ Knighthead Park on 7 November, with kick-off at 3pm UK time. It is also the club’s remembrance fixture.
Davies asks Blues to maintain their standards
In his official pre-match comments, published on Thursday evening, Davies highlighted the qualities his players have shown during their recent run. Blues have won five of their past six games, scoring 14 goals and conceding two.
The manager acknowledged the physical and mental demands on players over the past few weeks. He sees the coming break as an opportunity to recover, but said his side would have the energy for this final assignment beforehand.
For supporters, the challenge is clear: the recent results have established a standard that Davies wants repeated. His emphasis was on bringing the same attitude and quality into another demanding game, with Swansea level on points with Blues heading into the fixture.
Another home test after Millwall
Tuesday’s 3-0 victory over Millwall provides the immediate backdrop. Alex Cochrane, Max Bird and Jay Stansfield scored before half-time as Blues secured another home win. Our Millwall match report covers that performance.
Swansea now present the next test. Davies’s message puts the focus on sustaining the work behind the recent victories as Blues prepare to face Vitor Matos’s side.
