And Pedro Pereira, on loan from Benfica, spoke to Robins TV to discuss how much he has settled into life at City.
MEMORABLE FIXTURE
Charlton 0-1 City
Saturday, February 6th 2016
Sky Bet Championship
Scorer: Lee Tomlin 21 (p)
Att: 14,342
Lee Tomlin’s first-half penalty was enough to lift Bristol City out of the Sky Bet Championship relegation zone on the day Lee Johnson was announced as the club’s new head coach.
A game of huge significance at the foot of the table was not short on tension but lacked significant goalmouth action.
It was Tomlin who proved to be the match-winner on 21 minutes, picking himself up after he was fouled to dispatch a potentially crucial spot-kick in both sides’ seasons.
Johnson’s appointment on a three-and-a-half-year deal signalled this would be the last of five games in charge for City’s interim management team of John Pemberton and Wade Elliott.

Bristol City XI: O'Donnell, Baker, Little, Flint, Golbourne, Pack, Smith, Freeman, Reid (Wagstaff 66), Tomlin (Wilbraham 61), Kodjia (Agard 78). Subs not used: Fielding, Williams, Pearce, Burns.
