Boro are yet to win in the league since former Celtic boss Strachan took charge last month.
Davies expects Boro to turn that form around soon under the stewardship of his fellow Scot.
"Gordon is Gordon - he's a tremendous character and a very committed manager," Davies told the club's official website.
"He's been in the game a long time and knows what it's all about. One thing he won't be doing at the moment is panicking.
"He's very calm and he'll be very astute at what he does. We don't expect an easy game and don't expect any favours. We've got to go there and do what we have done all season: compete, make sure we're putting pressure on their back four and goal and defend very well throughout the match."
Borophil : "...I'm not a professional football manager but I could not ever see me pick such an unbalanced looking team. Defence OK with Hoyte McManus Wheater and Naughton. Flood O'neill midfield OK - I'd have played Walker in midfield..." view full comment
