Robins not at 'normal standard' against Oxford

Bristol City were not at their normal "standard" in the defeat 3-1 defeat by Oxford United said head coach Gerhard Struber.

The Robins fell to their first Championship defeat of the campaign under the Austrian, conceding three goals - two from free-kicks - against the U's.

"We were not super-ready in set-pieces. All three goals we conceded were over set-pieces - moments with not the right tension, not the right behaviour," Struber said.

"They had power in this way but how we dealt with those moments was not normally our standard.

"Until this game we have been really good in set-pieces, how we defend against the opponents, but today it was not on a really good level and this makes the difference.

"In both boxes it was not always in the right tension, the right sharpness that we have to be.

"I'm happy how we fight, how we believe to come back. The boys invested today but in both boxes it was not so strong like normally and this makes the difference."
