Nigel Pearson says his Bristol City side missed an opportunity to get back to winning ways in their 0-0 draw at Huddersfield Town but was once again frustrated with referee Leigh Doughty's decision not to award a first-half penalty.
In an opening 45 minutes in which the visitors dominated, Mark Sykes was barged in the back by Josh Ruffels following a delivery into the area with replays showing he made little attempt to play the ball. The City winger's appeals were futile with the City dugout also protesting to the fourth official.
In a goalless encounter, which won't live long in the memory, the first half had little fluidity with Neil Warnock's Huddersfield happy to disrupt play with a series of strong tackles and tactical fouls.
