Chris Davies conceded Birmingham City<\/a> didn\u2019t do anywhere near enough with their lion\u2019s share of possession in their defeat to Bristol City.<\/p>\n Sinclair Armstrong raced away to score the only goal of the game at Ashton Gate<\/a> and condemn Blues to a fourth away defeat of the season.<\/p>\n Blues had 72 percent possession but they couldn\u2019t properly test home goalkeeper Radek V\u00edtek.<\/p>\n Speaking afterwards, Davies<\/a> said: \u201cIt\u2019s a game that really got away from us. I felt we would have some of the ball today but probably not as much as we ended up having. We just didn\u2019t do enough with it to create the clear openings and the chances that we needed to.<\/p>\n \u201cIn some ways it felt like we were the home team but the danger was always the counter-attack, a fast break and we didn\u2019t suffer many of them at all.<\/p>\n \u201cThat one goal was the big one. They broke away and scored it. It\u2019s something we have been working on and paying attention to, stopping those counter-attacks from this team, but we couldn\u2019t do it.\u201d<\/p>\n A careless pass from Paik Seung-ho conceded possession and Rob Atkinson pinged a first-time pass in behind Blues\u2019 defence for Armstrong. Phil Neumann couldn\u2019t keep pace with Armstrong and the striker expertly finished across James Beadle.<\/p>\n On the goal, Davies added: \u201cYou\u2019re going to lose possession, you have just got to sense the danger. He\u2019s obviously really quick, Sinclair Armstrong.<\/p>\n \u201cI think in that situation, if we can just retreat nice and quickly, and close the space a little bit then obviously we don\u2019t get done with that one.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s out of absolutely nothing. It doesn\u2019t feel like they\u2019ve had to work hard to get that goal and it felt like we were working so hard to try and create openings.\u201d<\/p>\n Get the latest Blues headlines sent straight to your phone<\/p>\n BirminghamLive has its very own Birmingham City<\/a> WhatsApp community to deliver the latest headlines straight to your phone.
