McLeish senses no fear factor

Alex McLeish believes his Birmingham players are showing no signs of fear in their battle to stay in the Barclays Premier League.

And the Blues boss has called on his side to repeat the level of performance shown in recent home games against Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham when they face Newcastle at St Andrews on Monday night.

McLeish said: "I am not seeing signs of a nervous team. I can´t praise these guys high enough in terms of their commitment to Birmingham and there is individual pride there."
