Forssell urges Birmingham to maintain intensity

Mikael Forssell has urged his Birmingham team-mates to approach Saturday's game against Fulham with the same intensity as they displayed in the 3-0 victory over Middlesbrough.

Birmingham have a tricky set of fixtures coming up and Forssell accepts that it is vital to pick up points against the likes of Boro and Fulham.

"It was a complete contrast to Bolton, and it had to be," Forssell told the Birmingham Mail.

"I have to say we have got difficult games coming up in January - Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal. So if we can get three points on Saturday against Fulham, then that would be fantastic.

"That's what we have to aim for. Like Middlesbrough, they are around us in the table.

"We are strong at home, the crowd were excellent, so let's keep this going.

"We must play the same way, with the same intensity and attack."
