Point against Albion a good one - Doyle

Tommy Doyle is on loan with Birmingham City from Premier League Wolverhampton Wanderers

Birmingham City midfielder Tommy Doyle says taking a point from Wednesday's West Midlands derby at West Bromwich Albion was a good one given their first-half performance.

Despite largely dominating the first 45 minutes at The Hawthorns, Albion only had Alex Mowatt's 12th-minute goal to show for it and a much-improved Blues managed to secure a point after Marvin Ducksch headed in Doyle's free-kick with 12 minutes left.

"We definitely weren't up to it first half but were miles the better team in the second," Doyle told BBC Radio WM.

"A point at the end of the day is probably good but we could've had a bit more."

Blues came into the match in fine goalscoring form having won their last three home games 4-0 and, although unable to find that same threat against the Baggies, Doyle said they showed another side of their game.

"You can't be free flowing every single week. We want to be and that's the aim we strive for," he said.

"It was all about just plugging away. We fought hard and we were going to create chances and thankfully we got one.

"There's a lot of different ways to score and set-pieces are becoming a big thing so the better you are at them, the more goals you're going to score."
