PRE-MATCH VIEWS

Sir Bobby said: "They have had some different results, a 4-4 and a couple of 4-3 games included, but I saw them at Middlesbrough and they looked solid until Nemeth scored the only goal near the end.

"They have leaked a few goals, but they'll be looking to put that right on Sunday. And going forward, they have plenty of quality with people like Robbie Keane and Jermaine Defoe in their side.

"We know we've drawn a lot of matches away from home and had we won those drawn games we'd have been in a better position. But football is like tossing a coin, we could have lost all those drawn games and picked up no points.

"It is an important game for us on Sunday because Birmingham have won their last two home games and have risen up there with us, so you can add them into the challengers that were already up there.

"The games are coming thick and fast now, that's always the case at this stage of the season, but after the win on Thursday night we travel to Spurs full of confidence."
