Blue's Bruce wants to win a trophy

Birmingham manager Steve Bruce is taking the Carling Cup game against Hereford United seriously as he says he wants some silverware for the cabinet.

"I've always said that I wanted to help this club win a major trophy, something it has not done in its history," said Bruce.

"Let's face it, we all know who the top four or five are going to be in the Premier League by the end of the season so the Carling Cup and FA Cup represent the best chance of some silverware for a lot of us.

"Of course, it's nice to get the first league win under our belts and we are mindful of the importance of staying in the division.

"But we will always treat the cup competitions with the utmost respect and it will be the same against Hereford on Tuesday."

Meanwhile Graham Turner has spoken to the Worcester News about the Cup-tie.

"Going to Birmingham could be an enjoyable evening providing we put in a performance. We can pass the ball well and I believe that we have enough pace to cause them a few anxious moments.

"And if Steve Bruce decides like most top level managers to change things around then it could give us a little opportunity."
