Birmingham City flairful but held by Queens Park Rangers

Post-match reaction as Birmingham City draw 0-0 with QPR at St Andrew's Stadium.

Transcript

00:00 Birmingham City 0, Queen's Park Rangers 0, the Friday night kick-off here at St. Andrews Stadium.

00:06 I can't quite believe that Blues haven't gone home with three points there.

00:09 Yes, QPR definitely a threat on the counter-attack, chances for Sam Field and Lyndon Dykes,

00:13 especially that Lyndon Dykes header that John Ruddy did brilliantly to save in the second half.

00:17 But Birmingham top on top for most of the clash, lots of possession, loads of opportunities crafted as well.

00:22 I was very impressed by the likes of Koji Miyoshi, Jay Stansfield in particular,

00:27 linking up the play, Keishi Anderson before he went off injured.

00:30 Just so much flair being shown and I think Blues fans are very excited at the moment

00:34 by just the change in style and a lot more directness going forwards.

00:38 Not afraid to put some skills, take on defenders, that was kind of unheard of last season.

00:42 So definitely some positives to take, but it's not clinical enough.

00:45 Scott Hogan running through on goal and missing a very big chance.

00:49 Stansfield did well to get lots of power behind the strike, but it was saved by Begovic.

00:53 Bielik also had a shot saved by Begovic, QPR goalkeeper did brilliantly to keep the score at 0-0.

00:59 As did Ruddy to be fair, clawing the ball away from Field, making that save from Dykes' header

01:03 and a couple of others in the first half as well.

01:06 So definitely a night for the goalkeepers to shine, two clean sheets of course, one for either side,

01:10 and points shared. I think Birmingham will be going away from this one,

01:13 scratching their heads as to why they couldn't get three points here under the lights of St Andrews.
