Review
Jack Cowall scored all four for Bristol City, which means our last three games were lost 3-7, 0-6 and 0-4. That's 17 goals conceded in three outings! Good job we weren't relying on Goal Average this season, but seeing as we were technically safe before the first of those games I guess we took our foot off the pedal at the end of the season.
