The unpredictable nature of the Championship is a phrase that won’t be new to followers of the division, Bristol City, or those that listen to Nigel Pearson on a consistent basis.
Even without their manager at Ashton Gate on Wednesday, the Robins continued to reflect a massively incalculable equation minute-by-minute and week-on-week.
Taking the large part of 35 minutes to work through a slow-burning exercise, City switched into action and proceeded to dominate the next 35 minutes with the superiority of a team in form. Their frantic exposition into uncertainty in the final 15 minutes is also not a first given their dreadful second-half record, especially at home.
