      morning referee

      Sam Barrott has the whistle for tomorrow’s game at Ashton Gate in what will be his 34th game of the season, but only his third in the Championship.

      Barrott has issued 95 yellow cards -2.8 per game- and three red cards in 2022/23, mainly at the League One and League Two levels.

      With injuries to Rob Atkinson and Kal Naismith, the options in defense and midfield are a bit slim on the ground, but the real area of ​​interest is which attacking combination Nigel Pearson selects for tomorrow.

      Harry Cornick and City could be the perfect couple

      The Robins’ new number 9 was interesting company this week as he discussed his first impressions of the club, the area, his teammates and what he thinks he can bring to the party.
