McCarthy, who now follows Blues home and away as an expert summariser for BRMB and Gold radio, says McLeish is clearly determined to boost the team’s goal power.
In the last five matches Blues have scored just three times.

“But I do think the potential is there for it to happen and from what I’ve been hearing, Alex McLeish is looking to address it, he wants to get more creativity into the team.
‘‘But at the same time, he can’t suddenly leave them too open at the back.”
