Mick McCarthy rues 'worst' performance:
Meanwhile, former Cardiff boss Mick McCarthy believes Saturday's 2-0 defeat was 'probably the worst performance’ he has experienced since taking over as Blackpool boss.
Goals from Andreas Weimann and Alex Scott proved enough to condemn the Seasiders to defeat at Ashton Gate.
Since McCarthy took over, the Tangerines have won just one of their last 10 games, and McCarthy pulled no punches in his post-match assessment.
Mick McCarthy:
“We were well beaten by a far better side - they deserved the points,” he said. “Last week against Burnley we were talking about how well we did.
“We talked about it before the game, how it was a boost for us to go and get a performance here today but we never did it. Win, lose or draw I expect a good performance from the players - that’s probably the worst performance I have seen since I came in.
“I can’t really come out of today’s performance and say there is much good in it - it was really really poor.
"Our travelling fans have not seen anything here today and we’re really disappointed we didn’t give them something to shout about - we let them down.”
