Tylon Smith 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 Queens Park Rangers can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Kwame Poku 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 Queens Park Rangers this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A move Sander Sybrandy would have made for nothing

Player ratings

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Bristol City left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

It is the least glamorous business a club does and the reason seasons do not collapse in February. Owen Foster is here for the weeks when three men are injured and somebody still has to play.

In brief
