Championship supercomputer's fresh Bristol City verdict after Stoke City horror-show as Norwich twist emerges

Bristol City’s impressive winning run came to an abrupt and sudden halt at the Bet 365 Stadium when they were hammered 5-1 by Stoke City.

Manchester City loanee Divin Mubama scored a hat-trick and claimed an assist for the home side in a superb individual performance which saw him frighten the life out of Bristol City’s defence on Halloween. The Robins slipped to fifth place in the table as Stoke leapfrogged them with their third win in four games.

It marks the first real thumping of Gerhard Struber’s tenure in charge. But for his under-pressure predecessor Liam Manning it’s starting to become a regular occurrence. His side fell to a 2-0 defeat at home to Hull City as the home supporters began to chant for the 40-year-old to lose his job.

Next up for Bristol City is a return to home comforts to face a struggling Blackburn Rovers side. In the meantime, here is a look at the latest supercomputer from Opta, via The Analyst.
