It was a miserable day on the coast matched by an equally miserable performance on the pitch as Bristol City's defensive weaknesses were out in full force once again.
Two quickfire first half goals did the damage - the latter another set-piece - before Nigel Pearson's half-time team talk was ripped up just three minutes into the second half.
For the 1000 or so supporters that made the trip north, they were given little to shout about and Nahki Wells' goal at the end was no more than a consolation.
