Birmingham City boss Chris Davies felt his side were not “strong enough” in Tuesday’s Championship defeat at QPR.
Blues levelled in stoppage time through Patrick Roberts but went on to concede a 96th-minute winner.

“We weren’t at our best today,” Davies admitted to BBC Radio WM. “We weren’t as fluent as we normally are with the ball, but again I think the problem is conceding the first goal, giving ourselves a big job to do.
“I do think we did grow into the game. We got better and better and better, and eventually started to create chances really late on.
“They’re a very physical team, big strong players, and I don’t think we were strong enough across the pitch in a lot of duels, and that obviously cost us in terms of possession, and being second to the ball.
“The players are desperately disappointed because they thought they’d clawed themselves back into the game, and couldn’t get it over the line.”
