Alan Hutton has little doubt that Alex McLeish will pull Birmingham City away from trouble in the Barclays Premier League. Our January arrival from Glasgow Rangers faces his former manager from both Ibrox and Scotland for the first time in his career as we travel to St Andrews on Saturday. McLeish was appointed Steve Bruce's successor in November and we don't need reminding of his first game in charge - a smash and grab raid at the Lane and a last-minute winner from Sebastian Larsson that flew into the top corner from 30 yards. Since then he's managed to keep City's heads above water with gritty performances like last weekend's draw against Arsenal, a vital point after playing most of the game with 10 men. In fact, City have drawn four of their last six, including home and away against the league leaders. "He’s proved he’s s top manager and I’m sure it will be no different at Birmingham," said Alan, who broke through the Rangers ranks under McLeish. "He’s knows how to get the best out of his players and get them all to work hard. It’s all about working hard and doing that bit extra for your team-mate. "When you play like that and everyone is working together you are hard to break down and he’ll have that instilled into them. He’s had a lot of highs in his career and this is a lot different but I’m sure with his ability as a manager that he’ll do well. "Everyone knows it will be tough but we’ve all put the final to the back our minds and we’re concentrating on playing well on Saturday." ============================================================================== Hutton對McLeish會帶伯明罕喝可樂的說法有點懷疑 McLeish是他在蘇格蘭國家隊與流浪者隊遇到的第一位教練 Hutton說: " 他證明他是頂級教練 我確定他在伯明罕沒有問題 " " 他知道如何引出球員最佳的一面 並引導他們認真訓練 " " 你和一同拼命訓練的隊友一起比賽你會更認真 在他的生涯中有很多高點 這是很大的不同 但是我知道他是位有能力的教練 " " 大家都知道這會是場硬仗 但是我們已經把決賽的事放到腦後我們專注在禮拜六的比賽 " -- 其實北方兒還蠻愛發言的 他的臉讓我覺得他是悶燒型 XD 前幾天Hutton對隔壁受重傷的那位送出祝福 05年Hutton也受過重傷 他至今不敢看隔壁受傷的那一幕 那會讓他想起當時骨頭斷裂的痛 很有趣的是當時Hutton父母試圖不讓他看到報導 但他沒理由的想要看 -- How come every time you come around My London London Bridge wanna go down Like London London London wanna go down Like London London London be going down like --
