Birmingham City

James McFadden insists he is ready to keep taking Birmingham's penalties despite his miss in the goalless draw against Manchester City. The Scot's spot-kick proved all too easy for Shay Given to save as McFadden failed to find the corner, costing his side its chance of victory over the big-spending Citizens. But McFadden has brushed off the disappointment and wants to be counted on the next time the Blues get their chance from 12 yards. "It was a poor penalty," McFadden said in the Birmingham Mail. "I don't know why but I changed my mind where I was going to put it. But I will be ready to take the next one."
