Allsop 'will be disappointed' but 'is a consummate professional'
Camp: Battle to be number one goalkeeper at Blues 'can be difficult'

Brighton loanee James Beadle kept his first clean sheet for Birmingham City in Tuesday's 1-0 Championship win at Preston North End.
The England's Under-21 international has started the past three league games in place of Ryan Allsop, who was chosen in goal for the first eight Championship matches of the campaign.
"I know Ryan, I worked with him at Bournemouth and I did something similar there where I came into the side when he had been playing," former Blues goalkeeper Lee Camp told BBC Radio WM.
"He's a great guy with a great character and he's a Blues fan. He'll be disappointed, probably frustrated, angry and desperate to play but he is a consummate professional and he'll go about his business in the right way, I have no doubt about it."
Camp added: "If the person who has got the shirt is consistent and doing well, there is no need to change it.
"The reality of it is that we all know what we sign up for, but I was never good at being a number two and that is why I probably had so many clubs during my career - because I wanted to play."
