New UpdatesKey EventsSECOND GOAL FOR STOCKPORTView PostSecond half teamView PostGOAL FOR STOCKPORTView PostThe Bristol City teamView Post17th Jul15:43 BSTMichael Skubala reactionBristol City have 'loads of things to work on' after a long, hard, and hot week in Spain saw the Robins beaten 2-0 by Stockport County.
The sides met in a pre-season game in Alicante on Friday morning but it was the League One outfit who got the better of the Championship side in what was Michael Skubala's first game in front of fans since his summer appointment.
Midway through the first half, the Hatters took the lead when Adama Sidibeh fired into the bottom corner from the edge of the box. Sam Greenwood and Rob Dickie came close to levellers before Jayden Fevrier lashed home from outside the area to double the lead with eight minutes to play.
While pre-season is not about results and all about fitness, it's never good thing to be beaten. And Skubala said that while the week in Spain had been largely positive, there were still plenty of things he wanted to see from his charges going forward.
