To this end, they have brought photographs and signage to enhance the away dressing room, hoping to inspire a turnaround in results.
This initiative began a few weeks ago and is believed to be the idea of the club’s performance psychologist.
However, there has yet to be a noticeable improvement—results have actually declined, with the latest being a disappointing 3-0 loss at Bramall Lane.
This stands in stark contrast to their results at home, where manager Davies has experienced only one league defeat since taking the reins in the summer of 2024.
Since then, only Hull City has managed to secure a full points haul from St Andrew’s, with Brum losing just once in 37 league matches.
However, the away performance tells a different story.
The ambitious club from the Second City has won twice this season—against Blackburn Rovers and Preston—but only Portsmouth and Sheffield Wednesday have earned fewer points while traveling.
Birmingham is working hard off the field and is investing significantly in the club's infrastructure.
This includes a chief-of-staff position, and the signage is intended to provide a psychological lift.
Nevertheless, Birmingham will have to manage without Davies in the dugout as he is serving an automatic one-match ban for being sent to the stands during the 1-1 draw against Southampton.
They will also be without captain Christoph Klarer, who is in the second match of his three-match suspension following his red card against Derby County.
Additionally, midfielder Tommy Doyle is sitting out the final match of his ban after being sent off during the 3-0 defeat at Sheffield.
