Bristol City returned to winning ways on Friday evening at Ashton Gate, beating Watford 1-0 thanks to a first-half winner from Dom Ballard. The result ends a run of two consecutive defeats against Southampton and Lincoln and sends the Robins into the three-week international break on a positive note.
Michael Skubala's side controlled much of the game and could have extended their lead when substitute Lorent Tolaj came off the bench, but he missed two good chances. The hosts had to withstand a nervy finish to secure all three points.
The win leaves Bristol City fifth in the Championship after eight games. Depending on other results over the weekend, they could move into the play-off places heading into October.
Manager Michael Skubala was pleased with the performance and made a play-off admission after the match. His thoughts are available to read in full HERE…
