Defeated but not downbeat would be the general consensus as Bristol City head into the international break on the back of two losses.
Usually, two consecutive defeats would have the pessimists armed and ready to pick faults and brace themselves for the inevitable slide down the Championship table. However, it's difficult to feel negative after leaving Turf Moor following another narrow loss.
Yes, City were chasing the ball for long periods of the game and the possession stats would suggest it was a completely one-sided affair. Although the truth is that it was anything but and for the second time in four days, City fell short against two sides who have ambitions to make a swift return to the Premier League.
