From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market

Harry Cornick 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 The request is on a desk at Bristol City, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Burnley come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Bristol City did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Max Bird 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.

Match

Bristol City see off Queens Park Rangers

Three points for Bristol City, 2‑0 the final word against Queens Park Rangers in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

Words at Bristol City training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Luke McNally 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.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Tomi Horvat

Marked 8.14 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad

Tempers go at Bristol City

Max Bird 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.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Bristol City

4 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Market

Lisav Eissat attracts admirers

The name of Lisav Eissat has come up in conversations Bristol City were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Player ratings

Scott Twine runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

One of our own: Jonathan Clark joins the Bristol City first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Jonathan Clark is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

One of our own: Steven Carter joins the Bristol City first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Steven Carter is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Henry Wood steps up from the Bristol City academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Henry Wood has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Squad

Luke McNally falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

No hiding place for Luke McNally

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Luke McNally, and the manager let it.
