A new year can often bring fresh optimism and after an encouraging point at Millwall during the week, it was important Bristol City backed up that performance against Coventry.
Nigel Pearson made one change to his side, bringing in the fresh legs of Nahki Wells in replace of Tommy Conway while Antoine Semenyo was handed a second consecutive start in the attack.
That confidence threatened to wane just 12 minutes into the game when the hosts took the lead through Jake Bidwell after Max O'Leary's initial brilliant save unfortunately found its way back to the midfielder. In typical-City fashion, it was his first goal of the season.
