.A first half double from Nahki Wells helped City on their way to a comfortable victory at Aldershot Town
In control for almost all of the contest, City third away victory of the season puts Phil Parkinson's side up to fourth in League 2 - only four points off second place.
Wells' first of the match came with just under half an hour of the match gone when the Bermudian pounced on a loose piece of play from Sonny Bradley to race clear and slot past Jamie Young.
The forward picked up his second of the afternoon - his twelfth of the season altogether - came eleven minutes later when he followed up a James Hanson shot to tap home the rebound from close range.
Aldershot's only truly threatening moment of the half had come in between Wells' strikes when Stephen Darby cleared a Danny Hylton strike off the line after Matt Duke had failed to properly deal with a Danny Rose corner.
Armed with a two-goal half-time cushion in their pockets, City did a fine professional job of taking the sting out of the game after the restart and denying the hosts any opportunity to build up a head of steam.
Hylton and Shots substitute Michael Rankine briefly threatened with second period headers, but City had the best opportunity of the half to trouble the scorers again when Wells' acrobatic overhead kick from around eight yards out hit the post.
