Birmingham boss McLeish satisfied with Fulham point

Birmingham City boss Alex McLeish was satisfied with their 1-1 draw with Fulham.

McLeish is not concerned they have yet to win away from home since last season.

The Blues chief maintains that staying in the top flight is much more important and is happy if they can take a point away from home every few weeks.

"I couldn't care less," said McLeish. "If we can keeping winning at home and take four points out of six every two games, I think we will be okay.

"Some day we will win away from home but nobody has discussed that at all.

"It is not easy to win away from home. There are no guarantees you can do it. We might never win away in the next two years but as long as we are in the Barclays Premier League I will be delighted.

"I thought we played very well in the first-half. The goal was magnificent. It was nice to see Hleb looking a lot sharper. He linked-up nicely.

"We are still trying to get him to a level where he can last 90 minutes. He got a bit of cramp and had to come off and we hope it is nothing more than that. He will benefit from getting the minutes.

"We have got better as the season has progressed in terms of attacking. But we need to hold the ball up better. We can improve on that."
