“He’s getting docked two-weeks wages” were the jokes shared by both Curtis Fleming and Brian Tinnion following Bristol City’s 0-0 draw with Portsmouth at the Robins High Performance Centre.
They were referring to the rather bizarre sight of Under-23 defender Callum Wood, clad in temporary Pompey blue, white and red, stretching on the goalline to block Tommy Conway’s shot and deny City a late goal that would have probably proven the winner.
It had echoes of 12 months ago whereby the visitors borrowed Marlee Francois for a friendly, with the winner going on to score against his employers in a 3-3 draw.
