When Bristol City scored at Humberside last weekend, Nigel Pearson I would have hoped it was the beginning of something better to come after last season’s efforts.
However, as so many times in the 2021-22 season, Bristol City conceded a goal deep in extra time to lose 2-1.
Pearson and club supporters argued the referee’s decision was not on their side and positives can be taken from their performance at MKM Stadium.
Nonetheless, from the look of the defeat, Robbins feels like he’s already caught up, and a change of fortune on Saturday feels inevitable.
Bristol City ended their most recent campaign with a four-match unbeaten streak at Ashton Gate, earning six points in the process.

As far as Sunderland is concerned, Alex Neal I’m relatively happy to go back to the second tier and pass the first fixture without being defeated.
That said, conceding an equalizer for Coventry in the 84th minute left the mood down until the final whistle, and Neil hopes it won’t last long term.
On a positive note, playing in front of a crowd of over 40,000 in the Championship is a spectacle the club have been striving for since their relegation in 2018, and some of the spoils will get the ball rolling into this season. I’m here. .
The Black Cats have one of the tougher starts to the season, with games scheduled against Sheffield United and Norwich City before the end of August.
Their schedule increases the importance of collecting points from this match, creating some distance to the relegation zone.
