Big Eck fury at blundering Blues

BIRMINGHAM manager Alex McLeish has warned his players they will pay with their places if they do not learn from Saturday’s error-strewn display at Bolton.

A game that was high on endeavour but low on quality appeared to be petering out to a drab goalless draw before City imploded spectacularly in the final 20 minutes.

Three glaring individual errors handed Bolton the points, as first El-Hadji Diouf and then Nicolas Anelka, twice, pounced to clinch what appeared an unlikely 3-0 victory.
