Yawn, 0-0 tie with Crystal Palace. Boring (sorry my inner Homer Simpson is coming out again). 
Alex McLeish told bcfc.com: “We were much better today and I was pleased with the tempo of our performance and how we took the game to Palace.”
He went further on to say: “We created four or five excellent chances – it’s just frustrating we weren’t clinical enough to take them, because we more than deserved the full three points tonight.”
Yeah, you created them, but that doesn’t matter, you need to finish them. Creating is good, but it doesn’t win you matches. I’m not one to make any excuses or anything, however the Blues need more than a point here, and a point there.
