Birmingham have still not beaten a side in the top half of the table this season and manager alex mcleish will be looking to bring in more new signings before the transfer window closes , to add to the 6.5 million pounds spent on james mcfadden and david murphy .
Elsewhere , sebastian larsson and james mcfadden should offer a more creative presence , providing they can rediscover their best form after allowing a season to pass them by in the championship .
This is the good news the boys needed as bryan mcfadden recently suffered nervous exhaustion and had to miss some shows while recuperating back in ireland with his family .
Mcfadden is dangerous , kevin phillips comes on and keeps scoring goals , cameron jerome is dangerous , they 've got barry ferguson and lee bowyer in midfield and then johnson and dann at the back .
