Market

Stefan Ortega is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Bristol City is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Market

Daniel Bentley asks to leave Bristol City

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings

Jason Knight runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Jason Knight 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.

The terraces

Bristol City supporters have found a favourite in Ryan Kavuma-McQueen

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Ryan Kavuma-McQueen has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match

Bristol City are at home on the road

3 straight away victories. Sides that win away are usually sides that can defend and can counter, and the table has begun to reflect what those journeys have earned.

Player ratings

One of those days for Ryan Kavuma-McQueen

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.17, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad

Habeeb Ogunneye 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 Skinner

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

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Scott Twine breaks a bone — 66 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 66 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Darnell Furlong is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Bristol City is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Market

Mark Sykes 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.

Squad

Jason Knight 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.

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

A move Tyler Whyte would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Tyler Whyte is living that version at Bristol City, and it tends to show in the first month.

Match

Bristol City find a way past Birmingham

Birmingham made Bristol City work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The terraces

Bristol City supporters have found a favourite in Freddy Bernal

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Freddy Bernal has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Player ratings

Luke McNally in the eights

A performance of 8.51 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.
