- Bruce in promotion warning
Birmingham City boss Steve Bruce has warned his side against believing automatic promotion has already been secured following Sunday's 3-2 derby victory over Wolves.
The Blues moved back to the top of the Championship table with just two games of the season remaining but Bruce has warned against complacency.
"There are two games to go, we're in pole position, but I'm not going to take anything for granted," he said.
"We haven't done it yet."
Meanwhile, Bruce was full of praise for goalkeeper Colin Doyle, who secured the points for City with an injury-time penalty save from Michael McIndoe.
The 21-year-old has been linked with a move to Arsenal in recent weeks but Bruce is determined to keep hold of the highly-rated youngster.
"Doyle was our most outstanding player," he added.
"He has come in quickly and quietly and been very good - you must be good to keep out Maik Taylor.
"He's got a really good future and if Arsenal want him that's fantastic for him - I'll swap him for Nicklas Bendtner and Fabrice Muamba, but that's just newspaper flannel."
