Excuse the predictable statement, because we’ve already written variations of it a number of times this season, but these next two Championship games are of some significance for Bristol City.
They are the final two league fixtures before a four-week break for the World Cup which, yes, feels bizarre, but does represent a sort of mid-point in the season and will be, whether we want it or not, a period to reflect and cast judgement.
City have won two of their last 10 games, placing them 23rd in the Championship form table over that period of games - if you reduce it to six matches, they lie 15th - but should they enter the pause in the schedule with another two opportunities missed to gain three points - and two wins in 12 doesn't sound great - the chances are the Robins will be once again be in the nether reaches of the division.
