Chris Davies highlights moment he ‘really didn’t like’ in Birmingham City’s defeat to Shrewsbury

Shrewsbury Town’s second goal in their 3-2 win over Birmingham City really irked Chris Davies.

Blues slipped to only their second League One defeat of the season at The Croud Meadow on Saturday and are now without a win in three league matches. Blues dropped to fourth in the table and lost ground on leaders Wycombe after they extended their winning run to seven games.

Davies apologised to Blues’ fans after the game and while he wasn’t happy with any of the goals his team conceded, John Marquis’ strike was of particular annoyance to the 39-year-old.

Blues pride themselves on their ability to counter-press after losing possession but a series of failed challenges allowed Shrewsbury to break down the right. Tom Bloxham and Alex Gilliead combined to set up Marquis.

“I think the second goal is a really poor goal. We very rarely have conceded a goal on the counter-attack and there was things within that goal that I really didn’t like. I haven’t seen that from us.

“And the third goal was a ball over the top, a cross and finish. They are difficult goals to accept and to watch. Defensively we gave very little away and we rank up there out of all the clubs in the country, we typically give very little away. The problem has been making sure we score enough goals.”
