Birmingham boss McLeish happy with McFadden strike

Birmingham City boss Alex McLeish was happy to see James McFadden score his first goal in their 1-1 draw with West Ham.

"It is great for James," said McLeish.

"He looked lively and troubled the West Ham defenders in the first half.

"James is not an out-and-out goalscorer, hopefully he will provide many as well with his creativity - but he will score the occasional goal and is very dangerous."
