Nigel Pearson provides honest assessment of under par individuals in Bristol City defeat

Nigel Pearson says too many of his players were under par and below the levels he expects as Bristol City suffered their third consecutive league defeat.

While positives could be taken from the losses at Norwich and Burnley, the Robins could have no complaints with the 2-1 defeat after a series of first-half defensive errors gave the hosts too much of a mountain to climb in the second period.

City started brightly and were on top for 15 minutes before Andi Weimann's mistake was punished when he conceded possession in his own half. Chris Willock's effort from distance was tipped onto the post by Dan Bentley to leave Stefan Johansen with the easiest of finishes.
