City must have known it was Paul Ince's birthday on Friday because they gift-wrapped his side three points.
It was a chalk-and-cheese performance from an away day that will not live long in the memory. There was nothing to shout about inside a soulless stadium as Bristol City failed to replicate a showing that saw them brush aside West Brom in the week.
Devoid of attacking ideas, it was another case of here we go again when City's defence was breached just after half-time for another corner. What was equally frustrating as it came just five days after Nigel Pearson wanted to emphasise that his side can defend set pieces after successfully defending West Brom's 13 corners.
