Events
Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at Ashton Gate. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Bristol City FC and Nottingham Forest FC.
- 5' Bristol City FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Nottingham Forest FC backline.
- 10' The energy levels are beginning to show. Steve Cooper might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 15' Brennan Johnson has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 20' Bristol City FC is showing some good football. However, Bristol City FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
