Not convinced about the penalty for Hull but there it is and they score to take a 2-1 lead into the half-time. Phaffing around in your own penalty area, like we have for the first 40 minutes, can always lead to what just happened.
 
When we get serious pressure from any team that plays better than us we tend to fold too easily because our defensive prowess is sadly lacking. Another thing that irks me is that our second touch is rarely as good as the first one and that allows our opponent to nip the ball away and return to their attack. Never good enough and the cracks can't be covered over at this level and the unfortunate half-time score is a symptom of our woes. Three points today will go a long way to giving us a reasonable start to the New Year but only if we come back for the win and get some decent luck at Watford. Come on City give us some Christmas cheer.
 
First subs coming on. City are powder puff up front and certain players hold on to the ball far too long and then lose control to Hull. Hull want the ball more than we do and although we are still in the game I can see another Hull goal, rather than a lacklustre Bristol City.
