Birmingham City chairman David Gold is cautious over their survival prospects.

He said: "I am generally an optimistic person and that was how I felt two years ago. After beating Portsmouth I felt they would go down and that we'd be the one team of the bottom four to survive.

"But it turned out to be us that went down and I don't want that again so I don't want to be too over-optimistic about the rest of this season.

"I'd rather be cautious and address the subject now."
