Rock steady: Blackpool players lead the charge to salute Keith Southern after the player scored the hosts second of the afternoon They have scored just once in their last four outings and manager Alex McLeish admitted: 'It is a concern. Some of the players will realise that they have to give us a lot more than they did in this game.' He has renewed his interest in 26-year-old Costly, who is currently with Polish club GKS Belchatow. 'He's a player we're looking to take on loan,' said McLeish.   More...

He's played for the national team and if we can get him, then I like to think that he can bring something to us.' Campbell's goal was the second in two appearances for the 27-year-old striker since joining on loan from Leicester for the rest of the season. Midfielder Keith Southern struck superbly after 37 minutes to make it 2-0 and Blackpool were never in serious trouble, despite having substitute Claus Jorgensen sent off after 74 minutes for catching Lee Bowyer in the face with a hand.

'I was gutted to leave them. I loved that club to bits,' he said. 'But things didn't really work out, so I decided to leave. Everyone makes mistakes, but I'm at Blackpool now and hopefully I can keep scoring. 'I did play down my goal celebration. I spoke to my dad before the game and he said if you score, don't celebrate because Birmingham have been good to you.'   More...
