Bristol City are on the verge of a new season, with a summer of 'unbelievable' change on and off the pitch. The Robins, who finished 12th in the Championship last season with 62 points from 46 games, recent form WLDLD, have undergone significant transformations.
What happened?
Leroy Rosenior has reminded Bristol City that 'football is a game where people need time', as the team prepares to enter the new season. The former City forward praised the new hierarchy for their swift work, but emphasized the need for time to gel together.
Why it matters for Bristol City
The changes at Bristol City have been welcome tweaks, according to Rosenior. The team has signed seven new players, including a striker and a midfield player, and has brought in experience at the top end of the pitch.
What comes next?
Bristol City will face Walsall in the first round of the Carabao Cup, just over a week from now. The team will be looking to build on their recent form, which includes a 2-0 win over Stoke City on May 2, 2026. With the new season approaching, the Robins will be hoping to improve on their 12th place finish in the Championship last season, where they scored 59 goals and conceded 59, resulting in a 0 goal difference.
The team's next fixture is against Burnley on September 5, 2026, away from home. As the season gets underway, Bristol City will be looking to make a strong start and push for a higher finish in the Championship table, currently 33 points behind leaders Coventry.
