Bristol City transfer news: Crystal Palace eye swoop for Robins pair, Premier League club urged to sign Ismaila Sarr

Bristol City were unable to build on last week’s win over Preston North End as they suffered their fifth defeat in seven matches at the weekend. The Robins were beaten 2-1 by Millwall at Ashton Gate.

Despite equalising with an own goal in the second half, the Lions clawed back a winner only five minutes later to claim all three points. Nigel Pearson’s side now sit 17th in the Championship, though are only four points off the top six.

The Robins are in desperate need of a victory and will be hopeful of a positive performance as they face a managerless West Brom tomorrow evening. The Baggies picked up their first win since August as they beat Reading 2-0 on Saturday.
