The Robins are toiling near the bottom of the Championship table after a promising start to the season.

1. Tammy Abraham

It’s difficult to start anywhere else. The nineteen year old Chelsea loanee, with lightning reactions and a poacher’s instinct, is third in the Championship scoring tables with eighteen goals in his first season of men’s football.

2. Lee Tomlin

After inspiring City to Championship survival last season, most would agree that Tomlin has failed to hit the same heights following permanently switching from Bournemouth. However, in a struggling side, he has still provided moments of magic, like his free kick against Aston Villa in August.

3. Josh Brownhill

There is plenty of competition for midfield places at City. However, alongside Bundesliga veteran Jens Hegeler, 21-year-old Brownhill has made the place his own, covering a huge amount of ground every game and generally impressing in all areas.

4.Hordur Magnusson

Icelandic international Magnusson has recently been out of the side recovering from an injury. Prior to this, the defender had brought a cultured style and calmness to City’s defence – though the man in his place, Bailey Wright, is also gaining praise from fans and manager alike.

5.David Cotterill

Cotterill only joined on loan from Birmingham on January transfer deadline day, which shows how slim the pickings are for City. However, in a few games, the 29-year-old winger has already chipped in with assists, a high workrate and a keen eye for deadball situations.
