If you thought Bristol City were wildly inconsistent (which they very much are, or at least very much have been) then it’s hard to find a fitting set of adjectives to describe their opponents Blackburn Rovers.
Jon Dahl Tomasson’s side sit fifth in the Championship despite having lost 13 games - only Wigan Athletic and Huddersfield Town have more - but with 14 wins to their name - third overall. Blackburn have, as a result, are yet to muster a draw over the course of the campaign, which is baffling.
The irregularity of their results perhaps best personified by a 1-0 win over Watford swiftly followed by a 4-0 defeat at the hands of Rotherham United last weekend. Exactly what version of Tomasson’s side we’ll see at Ashton Gate is unclear but what is becoming weirdly reassuring about City, certainly since the start of the new year, is we know what we’re getting.
