Well, it was probably due. Tuesday’s 0-0 draw between Bristol City and Coventry City at Ashton Gate was the first time this season that the Robins have failed to score and their first goalless draw since September 2021 at home to Preston.
It was a strange game that saw the away side probably have the best chances with Dan Bentley forced to make yet another impressive save to keep his team’s clean sheet, yet City had spells where it was like an attack vs defence training session.
Nigel Pearson and Andy King both mentioned that the hosts had attempted “40 crosses” in what felt like an unthreatening bombardment, where City kept huffing and puffing without ever really feeling like they would score.
