The Story in 60 Seconds

Birmingham City manager Chris Davies has explained his decision to replace generic motivational quotes across the club's Henley-in-Arden training ground with player-chosen values. The squad selected "togetherness," "belief," and "respect" during a pre-season trip to Portugal, and the words have been placed at the top of the stairs leading to the meeting room.

Looking ahead to their upcoming Championship fixture, Davies highlighted the major set-piece threat posed by Alex Neil's Millwall side. Birmingham have sought to improve their own dead-ball routines following the summer appointment of set-piece coach Scott Fry, but they face a stern test against Millwall's league-leading eight set-piece goals.
