Nigel Pearson opens up on pressures of the job after Bristol City's damaging defeat to Lincoln

Nigel Pearson insists he's not feeling the pressure as Bristol City manager after a humbling and humiliating defeat against Lincoln City in the Carabao Cup.

The Robins went into the third round tie against League One opposition on the back of two wins in 12 matches in the Championship and Tuesday night provided a golden opportunity to get back to winning ways. City, though, were embarrassed at Ashton Gate with Mark Kennedy's side running out 3-1 victors amid a disjoined performance and more chaotic moments in defence.

City will now look towards their home game with Watford on Saturday having fallen to 20th in the league, three points above the drop zone, after results in the Championship went against them. It's their final match before a four-week World Cup break where clubs could well take advantage of the time to reassess their options.
