30 August 2003

An injury-time winner at Ashton Gate for Bristol City's Christian Roberts summons the spectre of the nightmare sequence of late defensive lapses that cost Town so many points last season. After absorbing heavy pressure from the home side, the Mariners are within minutes of a first clean sheet since the Easter Saturday stalemate at Hillsborough when Roberts latches on to a Tony Butler through ball and fires low past Aidan Davison from the edge of the box. Results elsewhere see GTFC drop two places to the unfamiliar mid-table territory of tenth place, though Town's total of seven points is only five shy of top spot.
