Successive defeats have tempered much of the optimism about Bristol City mounting a late Championship play-off charge as not only have they pegged the Robins back in advancing into the top half but provided a reminder of some of the squad’s shortcomings.
After an impressive nine-match unbeaten league run which lifted Nigel Pearson’s side into such lofty conversations, injuries unfortunately damaged their progress with City losing too many players in too many key positions in too short a space of time.
City now lie 14th in the table, 12 points below the top six and 12 above the bottom three. Locked in mid-table but with an element of intrigue as to where they'll finish and what will constitute success.
