Well, 2023 hasn’t quite started with a bang for Bristol City, but at this moment in time improved performances and another important point can’t be sniffed at as reflected by Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Coventry City.
Whether you take the optimistic view of it being only two defeats in the last seven games or the more pessimistic approach of the Robins now being winless in four, it feels at times like City and Nigel Pearson are keeping their heads above water.
Yet the trips to the CBS Arena and The Den couldn’t have felt much different in a manner to the visit of West Brom on Boxing Day. City have carried a threat themselves going forward while being defensively resolute.
