Bristol City will give under-pressure head coach Michael Skubala the opportunity to improve the team’s results, particularly at home, according to chief executive Charlie Boss.
Recent Struggles at Ashton Gate
The Robins have suffered defeats in their previous four Championship fixtures at Ashton Gate. This poor run culminated in a 5-0 thrashing by Norwich City, which dropped the side down to 17th place in the league table.
As reported by BBC Sport, Boss addressed supporters in a video message published on the club’s official website. He stated that the performance against Norwich fell well below expectations and noted that several difficult discussions took place at the club over the following days. Boss confirmed that the board convened earlier in the week and reached a consensus to support Skubala in reversing their home form.
Supporter Frustration and Upcoming Fixtures
Skubala previously guided Lincoln City to the League One title last season before signing a three-year contract with Bristol City in May. Nevertheless, a stretch of only two victories in their last 10 matches has prompted significant criticism from fans.
Boss acknowledged the strong reactions from supporters at Ashton Gate, emphasizing that frustration is shared collectively by the club’s owners, board members, and players. He noted that Skubala understands the urgent need for improvement and stated that the decision to stick with him stems from a shared belief in overcoming the challenging phase.
Bristol City’s upcoming schedule features an away fixture against second-placed Middlesbrough on Saturday, 21 November, at 15:00 GMT. This will be followed by home matches against Wrexham and Swansea City, alongside an away trip to West Bromwich Albion.
