Phillips will play on - either at Birmingham or not

Birmingham striker Kevin Phillips admits he could be on the move today.

Phillips proved Brum's FA Cup matchwinner on the weekend.

"I've made a career of scoring goals and when I'm in that penalty area, I come alive," he said. "Having not played for two-and-a-half months, people might ask whether you've lost it but I think you become better with experience, even if the limbs don't move as fast as they once did.

"I'm not going to lie about Wembley. I scored against Brentford, which really means I need to start in the final!

"Seriously, I've showed the manager I can still score goals, albeit against a decent Championship side. I've still got the eye for goal. I'd like to think that if the manager wants to keep me for the rest of the season, I'd be used more than I have been in the first half of it.

"Having said that, I know I'm not going to start many games, but I keep myself in tip-top shape. I look at the likes of Ryan Giggs, he's the same age as me. When you lose that desire it's time to call it a day. I still enjoy it, even more so after today. I'd forgotten what playing 90 minutes felt like."
