The 2007-08 campaign delivered a season of soaring ambition and agonizing near-miss for Bristol City as The Robins finished a spectacular 4th in their first Championship season in nine years. Spearheading the attack was Darren Byfield, whose 8 goals were crucial in a campaign built on the momentum of their previous promotion, which saw them reach the play-off final. It was a dramatic year of immense pride that culminated in a heartbreaking defeat at Wembley, denying them a historic return to the top flight.
