LEICESTER CITY [A] the verdict ...... surely it can't get any more worse than this?
Forever Bristol City PodcastShow Notes
Another defeat for City as this season disintegrates before our eyes at an alarming rate.
Conceding first for the 9th successive game, at 0-2 down with half an hour gone based on current form that meant game over.
City were awarded their first penalty away from Ashton Gate in almost 3 years on the hour. Riis's shot was weak making it an easy save for the keeper. If that had gone in then the home side's brittle confidence might have been tested in the closing stages but this is a Bristol City side playing with no heart or conviction.
The cover picture for this episode sums up the cloud of doom that is building over Ashton Gate - the looks on the players faces shows they would rather be somewhere else.
