Birmingham City Coach Chris Davies Focuses on Improving Away Form

Chris Davies, head coach of Birmingham City, has identified the team's away form as a critical issue that needs addressing for the upcoming season. After finishing 10th in the Championship last season, the team fell short of the playoff positions, trailing behind Hull City by nine points.

During the previous season, Birmingham managed only 18 away goals in 23 matches, ranking them among the lowest in the league. The team averaged less than a point per game on the road, a stark contrast to their successful promotion campaign the year before, where they secured 50 away points. Davies noted that while the home form was strong, the away performance required significant improvement, particularly in scoring and defensive consistency.

As the new season begins, Birmingham has made a positive start with a League Cup victory against Swansea. Davies has expressed a desire to implement a more aggressive tactical approach, aiming to increase goal-scoring opportunities. The team has made a few new signings but is still looking to enhance their squad further. Davies remains focused on achieving quality over quantity in player acquisitions to improve the team's overall performance.
