Post-match: Bristol City's Steve Cotterill
"it was disappointing. We weren't good enough and they were better than us.
"It was a good bench mark. I felt as though they were first to the ball over the 90 minutes.
"We've given away two sloppy goals - they ran past us too easily, but that's why they are at the top of the table.
"We didn't have enough bodies out there tonight and if you don't have that, you're not going to get a draw or a win."
