Johnson pleased with City start

Johnson 'happy' with his club's start despite two draws at home.

AS he prepares for two weeks without his team thanks to the international break, Gary Johnson felt this would be as good-a time as any to reflect on the start his Bristol City side has made to the season.

Johnson admitted he was 'disappointed' not to have won yesterday's clash with QPR at Ashton Gate but told the official website that he is happy with the way his side have started this season. He said: "All in all eight points in four games is a good return. We'd have taken that if it was offered before the start of the campaign.

"If we were winning our two home games and drawing our two away games then we would all be really pleased but it's been the other way round."

Gary admitted that his side must 'buck up their ideas' at Ashton Gate but accepts that playing at home teams are more likely to be happy to take a point away. He said: "Unfortunately we've drawn two home games but there have been parts of both those games that I have been really pleased with."
