McLeish's View: Barnsley (h)

Goals from Kevin Phillips and Garry O'Connor helped Blues maintain their 100% winning sart to the new leaue campaign.

"It was a very satisfying three points. We knew that there would be some pressure on us playing at home," the Blues boss said after the 2-0 win at St Andrews on Saturday.

"But the players were able to deal with that and it is good that we have been able to keep our momentum going.

"Barnsley did make it difficult for us at times and they had a couple of chances, but the defence did well and Maik Taylor did a great job in goal.

"In terms of the points we have picked up I can't ask any more from the players than to have collected maximum points.

"But I do think that there is still more to come from us and that we can get better."
