BRISTOL City's young side slipped to a 2-1 defeat against Southampton on Saturday.


The club's youngsters took on Arsenal last weekend and this weekend they faced off against their Championship rivals Southampton but were narrowly defeated by the Saints.

John Clayton admitted his side 'never got going' as they clawed their way back from 1-0 down through Ashley Kington but four minutes from time the home side edged back in front thanks to a breakaway goal.

The manager said: "That's our poorest performance for a long, long time and the attitude wasn't right."

City's under 18's still sit mid table in the FA Premier League Academy division with a record of one win, one draw and two defeats.
