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.
