Ahead of today's Premiership opener at Manchester United, Birmingham City boss Alex McLeish admits he still needs to add to his squad.
He said: "If you pass the ball and keep the ball, you can definitely get up the field.
"In terms of the squad I am still looking to enhance it but I know these fellas will give everything they have got.
"There is no reason why every player should be going there feeling nothing but belief in themselves and dreaming they can cause an upset against all odds."
McLeish will look for inspiration for the year ahead from Stoke's excellent survival campaign last term.
"We are looking to do a Stoke, to stay in the Premier League," he said.
"That is everybody's challenge and everybody's aim. I don't think we will look further than that."
