WORD FROM THE CAMP
Lee Johnson has demanded his squad bounce back and set high standards following Saturday's loss to Luton Town. He has spoken about the belief in his players as he look forward to returning to Ashton Gate under the lights on Wednesday.
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.
