00:00Chris Davies enters a pivotal fortnight as Birmingham City boss under intense scrutiny, despite last season's record-breaking promotion from League One.
00:12After securing the club's return to the Championship, the manager now faces heightened expectations and a stern test of his credentials.
00:21This summer, Birmingham were among the Championship's biggest spenders, bringing in players such as Kyoga Fariyashi, Marvin Dusk and Taylor Gardner-Hickman, alongside high-profile free agents Damari Gray and Phil Newman.
00:37Despite this investment, the team has struggled to find consistent form.
00:42After 11 games, they sit 12th in the table, 10 points adrift of leaders Coventry City and 3 points behind the play-off places.
00:50The Blues' performances have been steady but rarely impressive, raising questions among the club's US-based owners, who reportedly expect automatic promotion this season.
01:02They return home to face Portsmouth before hosting Millwall on the November 4th, aiming to maintain their strong home record.
01:10Their final fixture before the international break against high-flying Middlesbrough is seen as potentially decisive for Davies' future.
01:18Owner Tom Wagner is understood to be closely monitoring results, having recently flown to the UK to watch matches in person.
01:27He's reportedly emphasised the desire for a top-two finish and may use the international break between 8th and 22nd of November to reassess the managerial situation.
01:37Birmingham's recent history shows a pattern of managerial instability, with John Eustace, Wayne Rooney, Tony Mowbray and Gary Rowett all holding the role in the previous championship campaign.
01:50Davies' ability to withstand pressure and guide the club through this critical period will define his tenure.
01:57Success would consolidate his reputation.
02:00Our failure could end his spell that St Andrews, before the season, has properly taken shape.
02:07For now, results in this coming fortnight will be pivotal for both the manager and the club's ambitions.
02:12That's why the cuma eşsztлер.
02:23That must be what he wants.
02:24Depends on one of his members.

02:30Let him get you into the wild, but he has been...

02:38You cannot believe strongly in the vyenecists.
02:40But what's a defect to believe in this situation?
