🚨 Max O'Leary proving Bristol City wrong with stellar form at West Brom - Max O'Leary has prevented 6.61 goals this season, 2.5 more than any other Championship goalkeeper - The 30-year-old makes around three saves a game at a 75.4% save rate, second only to Southampton's Daniel Peretz, and is yet to make an error leading to a goal - He left Bristol City for West Brom last January after 18 years at the club, having lost his place to Radek Vitek - He played a key role as West Brom avoided relegation last season and earned a new contract in the summer - West Brom are fifth, one point off the top, with the division's second-best defence - Bristol City have conceded nine goals in their last three games, including a 5-0 home defeat to Norwich

Birthday for Terry Connor today - 64 years young.
Terry Connor joined City from Swansea in September 1991 but played just 16 times in a spell hampered by injury. He was loaned back to The Swans in 1992 before joining Yeovil, returning to Ashton Gate in March 1997 as assistant to John Ward

Every situation is different & has its own wider/back story. At this point Skubala may well be given more time. 6 March 2010 - Bristol City 2 Doncaster 5 On 18 March 2010 following a loss away to Plymouth it was announced that City boss Gary Johnson was leaving by mutual consent

Great pic from his Bristol City days of the true legend that was Norman Hunter. He sadly passed away in April 2020. Today would have been his 83rd birthday. RIP, Norman.

Happy 25th Birthday today to Lorent Tolaj. Seeing him back in Bristol City colours tomorrow causing problems for Stoke’s defence will be great. From his Under 19 days in below match he scored 8 goals. We can dream.
Switzerland u19s just beat Gibraltar u19s 16-1, with Albions Lorent Tolaj scoring 8 of them! 😮😮 #bhafc
