Half-Time Report: Bristol City and Scunthorpe United fail to break deadlock going into the break

Neither side have broken the deadlock despite several good chances in this afternoon's League One game between Bristol City and Scunthorpe United.

Aaron Wilbraham appeared to have been brought down in the box minutes after kickoff, but Bristol's appeals for a penalty were rejected by referee Charles Breakspear.

Gary McSheffrey had Scunthorpe's first real opportunity of the match, picking the ball up 20 yards from goal and curling a shot just wide of the post.

Wilbraham then saw a glancing header saved before McSheffrey struck the post for Scunthorpe with a rasping effort as both sides struck first-half blanks.
