SHORTLY after taking his seat in the Ashton Gate press room, Gerhard Struber was able to sum up Bristol City’s defeat to Coventry City perfectly. “We play nice football,” the Robins boss explained. “But in the end... we are not ready in the most important moments.’

In just a matter of words, the head coach had managed to voice the thoughts of the majority of the more than 23,000 fans who had taken in the action. At the end of a week in which City had been genuinely poor, against Port Vale, this had been an improved performance, but the outcome was no different.
