For the second successive season, Harchester United have been knocked out of the Carling Cup at the third round stage by a Championship side - this time in the shape of Bristol City.

Dragons boss Steve Kramer suffered a lot of abuse from the home side throughout the match as the full-strength consisting of Moody, Naysmith and Costa side once again performed badly and in an unconfident manner.

In what appeared to be the last throw of the dice from the manager, Kramer played with just three defenders and four attackers for the final 15 minutes in a bid to impress the baiting home supporter that wanted him out.

In response, it simply created an opening for the visiting Bristol City side that led to Steve Brooker scoring the eventual winner in the 83rd minute.

There was no coming back for the Dragons, but will there be for Kramer?
