KEVIN LONG: A LOT OF POSITIVES Kevin Long was able to see bright signs despite the frustration of Tuesday night’s defeat to Preston North End. Blues dominated large periods of the match away to the Sky Bet Championship leaders and took a deserved lead within 60 seconds of the restart, as Jay Stansfield struck his third goal in five appearances since arriving on loan from Fulham last month. However, an own goal and a second suckerpunch from the Lilywhites, when striker Miilutin Osmajic scored midway through the second-half, produced a scoreline that did not accurately reflect the balance of play at Deepdale. The defender has played every minute of Blues’ seven league matches following his return to the Club back in June. Speaking to BluesTV post-match, Long gave his reaction to the defeat in Lancashire, highlighting the positives to be taken from Birmingham City’s performance. “It is frustrating. I felt for large parts of the game we controlled it, went one-nil up and I felt we dictated the play well. Our attacking players showed up and we were getting in really good spaces - we controlled the game. “We were unfortunate to concede a goal the way that we did and then to concede another one, ultimately, we are coming away with a 2-1 loss which is frustrating because we played really well.” He added: “There is a lot to take from tonight, there’s definitely a lot of positives. That is what we are going to concentrate on.” John Eustace’s team are back in action with tonight’s hosting of Queens Park Rangers under the lights at St. Andrew’s - and in front of the Sky Sports cameras. This fixture is Blues’ third in precisely seven days and Long pinpointed some areas of improvement for the R’s clash and how managing the schedule is all part of the Championship’s tapestry. “We need to work on those things like having a little bit more composure when there are equalisers in the game or things like that and it is something we are going to try and be better at. “We have to [pick ourselves up]. We have got a game again on Friday, we don’t have a choice. We had a little chat in the dressing room afterwards and this game is behind us now. We have to go again Friday, that is the Championship, there is no time to dwell on anything.” BCFC.COM BLUES NEWS | 17
