If you’d told a Bristol City fan on Boxing Day, they wouldn’t see their team lose a game at home in the Championship until the end of April against the champions, I doubt they would’ve believed you.
Unlike last year’s Ashton Gate swansong, where City put five past Hull City, Saturday’s last dance in BS3 showed exactly why Burnley are champions and the gap the Robins still have to close to mount a play-off push next year.
However, it was a performance that demonstrated the positivity that is growing in South Bristol, with Nigel Pearson’s side unfortunate to not come away with a point and Vincent Kompany remarking that there was something special happening at City.
