Bristol City manager Steve Cotterill has admitted that he is "really disappointed" with his team's performance as they went down to a 3-1 defeat away at League One leaders Brentford.

City saw Karleigh Osborne cancel out Aden Flint's ninth-minute own goal, but the Robins conceded two more goals before half time, Alan Judge and Marcello Trotta putting the game beyond the visitors.

Cotterill told reporters after the game: "It's a major disappointment. That is the first time I've been really disappointed with them from start to finish.

"We actually started quite well, went behind against the run of play and then got level with a marvellous strike.

"But then we gave away two really soft goals before half time and there was no way we ever looked like getting back into the game after that."

Bristol City are currently second from bottom in League One, three points from safety.
