Re: Chris Davies gives reason for Birmingham City defeat and accepts glaring problem

Should Allsop have saved the goal?
Looked very soft from right behind it.
And the scorer couldn’t kick the ball at times. Terrible

Absolutely he should have saved it. I would, in general, like to see him dominate his area more, but I accept that that is not going to happen, and he has other strengths.
Letting a looping header drift over him, with it having travellled so far (fairly slowly), and under no real pressure, was poor.
I saw the trajectory and distance from goal of the header, and where he was, and thought there was no danger.
I was shocked when it went in.
He needs to be MUCH stronger in that situation, never mind trying to con a foul out of the ref because their tiny forward was in his eyeline. Get rid of the ball and take him out into the bargain.
He’s been tremendous for us overall - can’t really remember any other goals he’s cost us - but that is one that should not have gone in.
