Birmingham City boss Chris Davies pleased with team’s progress

Saturday’s visit of Portsmouth is the first of two homes game in four days, and Davies accepts it is an opportunity to pick up points.

“Yes, it’s an important week for our season,” he said.

“We’ve had a difficult run. We’ve hung in there. I think the Preston game was a big one to win, and win away from home.

“We’ve proved we can win at home, away, clean sheets, score goals, set-pieces – we’ve had it all, but it’s (about) putting it all together a bit more consistently.

“These next four matches, three are at home, we’ve got an opportunity to climb the table.

“We’re all desperate for more wins, that’s obvious, but as I’ve said to the players: it’s very important we focus on our performance.

“We can’t just say we want to win, we’ve got to play as well as we can, and they’ll eventually come more consistently.

“It’s two home games we feel we’ve got a good chance in. We’ve got to try and take maximum points if we can.”

Portsmouth came up as champions the season before Birmingham, and finished 16th in 2024-2025.

The are currently two points and three places below the Blues, but Davies has huge respect for Pompey boss John Mousinho.

“He’s done a very good job over the time that he’s been there,” said Davies.

“They’re very competitive, got an English core of players, but with a lot of games and experience in there. They’ll make it difficult; they can play, too.

“They’re a good team. We’re not going to have it our own way this weekend, we’re going to have to earn everything.”
