Bristol City may have trudged away from Luton without a point but there should be a reason for optimism despite a frustrating and disappointing evening at Kenilworth Road.
Once again the visitors started the game brightly and dominated the ball, albeit without creating any real opportunities, before being handed a sucker-punch minutes before the half-time whistle.
Failure to defend another set-piece remains infuriating but the fact that former Rovers man Tom Lockyer was on hand to open to scoring in front of the travelling supporters really rubbed salt in the wound.
