Birmingham City midfielder Damien Johnson admits everyone is "on trial" following the arrival of new manager Alex McLeish.
Johnson told the Birmingham Mail: "When someone new comes in you feel like you're on trial again.
"That goes for everybody. The lads who have been out of the team have probably been down on their luck and feel a wee bit rejuvenated.
"Since the manager's come in, it's been very lively. And Sunday went better than anyone could have thought. So, all in all, it's been a great start for us."
