Birmingham City can cope with pressure - Sebastian Larsson

Larsson accepts that Blues should be where Wolves are right now, leading from the front.

“I have said to people that I believe we are good enough to run away with it, and I hoped that we would.

“But, at the same time, I always said when Wolves were winning a lot of games that they wouldn’t run away with it, no-one does in this league for some weird reason, and we are right up there.

“We’ve picked up seven out of nine points and we’ve got to be confident from that, even though the players have to look at themselves after Barnsley and say ‘that wasn’t good enough’.”

Martin Taylor rescued Blues at Oakwell with the equaliser, three minutes after dropping them in it with a mistake that gifted Michael Mifsud’s goal.

“Apart from the goal we conceded – and credit to Tiny for showing character to recover from it straight away - we have looked quite solid. We have, in fact, been solid for most of the season but have let in silly goals early in games.

“Hopefully if we can stop that, we can push on.

“After the two home games, when we played a high tempo and dominated, I felt we started quite good for 15, 20 minutes and thought we were on top of the game.

“Unfortunately our Achilles Heel of all season continued, we didn’t score goals.”

“Obviously we are going to go for the three points on Saturday, no doubt about it,” Larsson added. “If we can get a good result, then we have four home games left.”
