A frustrating evening for a number of reasons but one that also pointed towards a brighter future, perhaps the 2-1 defeat at Luton Town was Bristol City’s season in microcosm; although there have been several matches like that this season.
The Robins were dominant on the ball, inventive in attack and confident whenever they were in possession, leading to Nathan Jones conceding that his Luton Town team got away with one, given they were largely second best throughout.
But City’s work in possession is no longer the problem, it’s what they don’t do out of it, and their worrying lack of authority whenever a ball comes into the area at any height above chest-level is an ongoing concern.
