Birmingham City boss Steve Bruce says his players have revitalised him after Saturday's victory over Wigan.

He said: "These players have reignited me. You are on the floor when you get relegated and you look around and hope you can pick a squad again that is going to have a bit of belief and a bit of something about them.

"The young players in that dressing room, every single one of them, I am delighted to work with and you can see that they can play a little bit too which is fantastic.

"Look at how they fought back on Saturday. We've been rock solid and defensively sound but gifted Wigan two goals and in the Premier League, if you gift two goals you are up against it.

"But I've been saying for weeks that the one thing about this team is they have a go and they never feel sorry for themselves and overall we deserved the win."
