EDITORS COMMENTS
Great image capturing the moment of uncertainty and disappointment as Bristol City Manager, Derek McInnes, examines the floodlit pitch during the abandoned Championship match against Watford on December 26, 2012. The heavy rainfall had made the conditions at Ashton Gate Stadium unplayable, forcing referee Michael Naylor to make the difficult decision to call off the game. McInnes, dressed in a rain-soaked coat, is seen intently studying the pitch, likely assessing the damage and considering the possibilities for a potential re-fixture. The determination in his expression speaks volumes about the resilience and tenacity of football managers, who are always striving to find a way to overcome adversity and secure a win for their team. The postponement of the game was a blow to both teams, particularly as it came during the busy holiday period and with derby County looming on the horizon. However, the unpredictability of the weather is a constant challenge in football, and the ability to adapt and respond to such situations is a crucial aspect of a manager's role. This image serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of the beautiful game and the importance of perseverance in the face of adversity. Despite the disappointment of the postponement, McInnes and his team would have been focused on preparing for the next fixture and continuing their push for success in the Championship. Joe Meredith/JMP, December 26, 2012 - Bristol City v Watford - Championship - Football - Ashton Gate Stadium.
