It was the perfect day for football in Nottingham. With fans shielding their eyes throughout the game as a clean shadow cut across the grass at the City Ground, it might have been tough for Bristol City’s away fans to see what was going on in the outline of the Saturday sunshine.
That being said, it probably wasn’t a bad thing. After not starting well, only level thanks to another heroic Dan Bentley masterclass in shot-stopping. It could have been 3-0 before 10 minutes were up and the City supporters would have struggled to see any of it past the orange glow over the top of the stand.
There were rows of hands going to foreheads to deflect away sunlight and create some makeshift ways of watching the game. They probably wish they hadn’t. This was yet another addition to the Robins' now enormous log of poor away performances.
