Marked for Adam Murphy

Squad9 Nov 2026

19 days out for Ronaldo Tavares after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Bristol City will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Match3 Nov 2026

The small margins put Bristol City out

Out, 1‑1 to Hull City, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Josey Casa-Grande wins the shoot-out

1 kept out from twelve yards, and a stadium that will describe each of them for twenty years. A goalkeeper needs one night like this in a career, and this was it.

Match7 Nov 2026

6 matches without a win for Bristol City

The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around Bristol City are no longer polite ones.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Adam Randell in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bristol City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Words at Bristol City training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jason Knight is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market9 Nov 2026

Ross McCrorie is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Bristol City has been clear about where Ross McCrorie stands, which is more than many ever get.

Player ratings9 Nov 2026

Adam Murphy ran the middle of the pitch — 7.06

He won it back and then made something of it, which is two jobs and the reason the scoreline looks the way it does. 11 combined actions and a mark of 7.06, and not one of them will make a highlights package.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

The manager makes an example of Rob Dickie

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad14 Sep 2026

A fracture rules Ronaldo Tavares out for 83 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Bristol City will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market14 Sep 2026

Jason Knight hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Bristol City can pretend not to have heard.

Market14 Sep 2026

Bristol City say no — this time

The offer from Cheltenham Town for Adam Murphy was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Real improvement from Luke Skinner at Bristol City

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Luke Skinner is 18, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Rob Atkinson in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bristol City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets14 Sep 2026

Door shut on Tarik Muharemović

Bristol City asked and Leeds United said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match12 Sep 2026

Bristol City see off Portsmouth

Three points for Bristol City, 1‑0 the final word against Portsmouth in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Sam Bell was the difference for Bristol City

Marked 7.64. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

The manager’s verdict

“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Andrew Hamilton kept it short after the 1‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad31 Aug 2026

Ronaldo Tavares breaks a bone — 98 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 98 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market31 Aug 2026

Rob Atkinson puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Bristol City, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Ben Killip due for a Bristol City medical

Everything agreed with Portsmouth, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Tiago Sá turns down Bristol City

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Braga keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Breiner Barbosa arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Breiner Barbosa has, at Bristol City, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Molde tell Bristol City: Mads Kikkenborg is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Bristol City

Ronald Acuña was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market31 Aug 2026

Cheltenham Town watching Adam Murphy

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Bristol City have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Match29 Aug 2026

A bad afternoon for Bristol City against Queens Park Rangers

0‑1 to Queens Park Rangers, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.
