The nature of the two goals conceded against Luton Town irked Nigel Pearson to such an extent that he didn’t want to highlight any of Bristol City’s positives in midweek.
One that shone brightly, even amid the frustration of the Robins not being able to secure back-to-back wins this season at the ninth time of asking, was the return of Joe Williams to Championship action.
The midfielder emerged as a 76th minute substitute and instantly added a presence for the Robins, combining energy with control and cleverness on the ball that not only made City look more dynamic but also with a greater sense of security.
