The Bristol City Chronicle
Match7 Nov 2026
The wait goes on for Bristol City
9 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.
Match7 Nov 2026
A hiding for Bristol City
Beaten 0‑3 by Swansea City, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

8 saves: Gino Santilli was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 8 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

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.

Kaye Furo 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.

Jason Knight was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 19. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.
Squad9 Nov 2026
Luke McNally stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Luke McNally and Bristol City agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Tiago Ribeiro gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
Boardroom9 Nov 2026
Nobody left the Bristol City dressing room in a hurry
The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.
In brief
