Meanwhile, McLeish refused to criticise Howard Webb following the referee’s mistakes during last night’s rearranged third-round tie.
Webb failed to give Blues a stonewall penalty, following Richard Stearman’s foul on Marcus Bent, before the official managed to deflect a Radhi Jaidi pass into Wolves’ possession leading to the visitors’ second goal.
However, McLeish chose to not heap further misery on a bad night for the man-in-the-middle.

‘‘Howard was the man on the spot and he’s a superb referee. On this occasion I believe he got it wrong but I need to see it again on the television.”
