He told the club's official website that he feels the game will be difficult for his side but now has an extra edge: "We know the Bristol City game will be a different one. Their reserve side would be a test for any League One club, but we have beaten Barnsley and have home advantage to look forward to."
On Maynard's return he said: "Of course, there is an extra insentive because of Nicky returning so soon after his transfer. They also have an ex-Crewe lad in Dele playing alongside him so that is sure to generate some extra interest."
