Gianfranco Zola doesn’t fear relegation

Gianfranco Zola insists that he’s not worried that his Blues team will be dragged into the relegation battle. His words won’t enthuse the fans, many of whom are beginning to look nervously over their shoulder.

After two wins in 16 games, Blues have slipped to 17th in the Chamionship table which makes tomorrows clash against Wigan at St. Andrews a must win.

Zola told the Birmingham Mail – ‘We come off two very good games, one very good result, one bad one – but the performances were good. As a coach these are very good indications. Play like that tomorrow and we are going to be alright.”

For all the stylish football Blues have played, they’ve produced little in the way of results. Entertaining football won’t achieve anything unless Blues can take their chances and learn to defend as a unit.

Wigan arrive at St. Andrews tomorrow in desperate need of a win themselves. It’s a real six pointer. And for all Zola’s good worded intentions, no team is too good to go down.
