Callum O’Dowda. The name alone, without any question or context is, is enough to spark passionate debate within the Bristol City faithful, albeit not with the same fury now he bears the blue of Cardiff City.
Sunday’s Severnside derby will be the first time O’Dowda sets foot in Ashton Gate since his last appearance at the stadium on February 9, as his departure at the end of last season on a free transfer ended six years at the club, in a city he made his new home.
It's unfair, but in many ways that 19-minute second-half cameo against Reading was unfortunately symbolic of how his time at City will largely be remembered, as O'Dowda came off the bench full of energy but made some glaring errors in possession and then departed with an injury.
