It wasn't pretty but Bristol City did what they had to do last night and show a response to come away with three big points.
The pressure was on heading into the contest and there was certainly an anxiousness inside Ashton Gate as the two sides cancelled each other out in a forgettable first half.
It quickly became evident why Preston had scored seven and conceded six heading into the contest but Rob Atkinson would eventually bring the game to life 10 minutes into the second half when he headed home Mark Sykes' delivery. It was the wing-back's first assist of the season which will hopefully do him the world of good.
