Bristol City CEO Richard Gould admits the team are around nine points shy of pre-season internal targets with the expectation that Nigel Pearson’s side would have finished closer to the top half of the Championship.
City have two fixtures remaining of a challenging 2021/22 campaign in which the Robins have been in “transitional” mode as Pearson has had precious financial resources and has leaned significantly on the academy.
They have spent the majority of the season in the lower mid-table area, unable to crack into the top half having failed, prior to Saturday’s game against Hull City, to win back-to-back games all season.
