Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Jason Knight

30 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Bristol City lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Player ratings

Tomi Horvat scores twice — 8.18

Two goals and a mark of 8.18 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

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 The request is on a desk at Bristol City, and it is not being withdrawn.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

Eyes on Emil Riis again

The phone has started ringing about Emil Riis again, and this time the name on the line is Crystal Palace. Bristol City are listening politely and promising nothing.

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.

Squad

No hiding place for Radek Vítek

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

Squad

Cameron Pring has been here 10 seasons

226 appearances across 10 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Market

Sam Morsy wants more than Bristol City are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Squad

Sam Morsy signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Sam Morsy commits to Bristol City for another 2 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Bristol City

Sam Morsy 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.

Squad

Words at Bristol City training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Tomi Horvat 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.

Market

The clock runs on Max Bird's contract

49 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.
