In their eighth consecutive Championship season, Bristol City endured a difficult start under the management of Nigel Pearson, firstly losing 2-1 away at Hull City on the opening day, as Andreas Weimann’s opener was cancelled out before Jean-Michael Seri snatched all three points for their hosts deep into injury time.
The Robins were then beaten on home turf by Sunderland, with Ross Stewarthitting the decisive goal in a 3-2 win for the Black Cats after Weimann and Chris Martin had twice drawn them level, and their winless start would be stretched in the following encounter away at Wigan Athletic.
Weimann continued his scoring run, putting them ahead inside the first five minutes, but Pearson’s men could only leave with a draw after Nick Powell’s second-half equaliser, putting them on just one point from three outings.
Desperate to put a first three-point haul on the board, the Robins were able to triumph last time out, when they hosted Luton Town on Tuesday, as Nakhi Wells and Tommy Conway got on the scoresheet in a 2-0 beating of Luton Town at Ashton Gate.
Having relieved some pressure with that victory, Bristol City head into Sunday’s derby with some renewed confidence and will look to make it two in a row and put their tough start behind them.
