Not for the first time this season, Bristol City came away from a game against Watford wondering how they’d not managed to secure three points after an incredibly positive display.
It was clear after the final whistle the City players were frustrated, with Nigel Pearson pulling the team over to the away end to appreciate the impressive travelling crowd despite their very obvious disappointment.
It’s quite remarkable to think the last time these two faced off ahead of the World Cup break, it felt as though a good performance was required against then Slaven Bilic’s Hornets for Pearson to keep his job at Ashton Gate.
