Johnson wary of Blackpool

Bristol City's manager admits he is unsure how Blackpool will perform after so many changes.

AHEAD of the clubs first game of the season, Gary Johnson has told his players to be confident, but wary of their opponents on Saturday.

Blackpool finished 19th last season and tailed off after a flying start to their first campaign back in the Championship for 26 years. Simon Grayson has added plenty of depth to his squad however and Johnson admits that it is going to be a difficult game.

He told the official website: "They've brought in a new team almost so it's hard to predict how they will line up."

"We'll have to wait and see how quickly the new players gel, but there's always a lot of passion on opening day with everyone desperate to get three points," he continued.
