Barry Ferguson: It's friends united in Birmingham City camp

WAST Hills is a place of harmony at the moment.

And that is exactly the reason why Blues find themselves on their current run of fine form, according to midfielder Barry Ferguson.

Alex McLeish’s men head into this afternoon’s visit of Fulham unbeaten in three and looking to continue their momentum.

Ferguson believes that a happy footballer makes a good footballer and the Scot insists that Big Eck’s camp is full of them at the moment.

“The team has gelled and everybody gets on with each other which is a big thing for me at any team,” said the 31-year-old.

“Everybody fights for each other, the boys are happy and a happy player is a good player.

“Obviously throughout the season you’re going to get games where you’re not going to play as well as you can but we’re doing well enough and you can always improve, that is what we are trying to do on the training ground,” he said.

Last weekend’s international fixture schedule will come as a welcome break to some and an untimely momentum-stopper to others.

Blues will be hoping that it is the former in their case.

Ferguson added: “It can go either way, it can work for you or go against you. We just need to keep up the form that we’ve been producing, especially in the last three games – three good results and probably we should have got a few more points.

“I think we’re definitely heading in the right direction. The boys who weren’t on international duty had three days off to give them a rest and now I’ve been fully focused on the Fulham game since Monday.”
