Squad

Guilherme takes the match ball home

5 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Match

No mercy from Bristol City

Oxford United will want this one forgotten quickly: 5‑1, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Bristol City were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Squad

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.

Player ratings

Guilherme was on a different afternoon to everybody else

10.00. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Match

6 goals as Bristol City and Oxford United go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Bristol City and Oxford United, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Player ratings

Romano Floriani Mussolini did the work nobody counts — 7.58

14 combined actions and 7.58. The job he did is the one that shows up as other people looking good, and the only reliable way to notice it is to watch what happens on the afternoons he is missing.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Sam Greenwood at his very best

Marked 8.08. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Bristol City.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Adam Randell

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Words at Bristol City training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Neto Borges 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.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match

Whatever happens, Bristol City do not lose

10 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad

Michael Brouwer stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Michael Brouwer and Bristol City agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

A falling-out at Bristol City

Andrey Santos and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Words at Bristol City training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Paco Alcácer 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

Guilherme stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.80 on the card, and the Bristol City support went home talking about one name.

Squad

Christian Soria wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Bristol City can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

The dugout

No hiding place for Noah Eile

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

Match

Honours even between Bristol City and Middlesbrough

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

The dugout

Half-satisfied: Richard Green on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 1‑1, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.
