Football Struber left frustrated by nature of City's defeat to Wrexham

GERHARD Struber was left frustrated by the "cheap" nature of Bristol City's defeat to Wrexham, and while the Robins boss felt responsibility for the result lay with him and his players, he was disappointed with some of the decisions made by referee Ruebyn Ricardo.

The Robins slipped outside of the Championship playoff places with a 2-0 defeat at the Racecourse Ground on Wednesday evening. A first-half strike from Nathan Broadhead and a second-half own goal from Radek Vitek proved enough for Wrexham to take the three points in North Wales.

Broadhead opened the scoring after just 16 minutes when he curled a right-footed shot from outside the area beyond Vitek and into the top right corner. Though City grew into the contest, the result was confirmed when George Thomason's corner struck the inside of the post before finding the back of the net via the Robins' stopper.

Between both goals, the Robins were unable to take advantage of the good positions they found themselves in. Although it was their slow start that ultimately proved costly, Struber was just as irritated by the lack of cutting edge in the final third.
