It was like chalk and cheese those two performances as Bristol City were made to sweat at the High Performance Centre in back-to-back games against League One opposition.
Whether Curtis Fleming required a lozenge or two at the end of the day after his involvement from the sidelines over the course of the afternoon is probably likely, but there was plenty to shout about in that opening game as City ran out 3-1 winners over Forest Green Rovers.
Perhaps their best performance so far in pre-season, City came away from the game unscathed injury-wise, their trio of forwards all on the scoresheet and 90 minutes in the tank for all outfield players. There was plenty on offer to enjoy while even the rain managed to cool the temperatures, although only briefly.
