"The lads have done so well to get where they are in the table without really hitting top form.

"We need to do that now and play to our full potential. There have been times when we have shown glimpses of it this season. Against Chesterfield we created a lot of chances and we need to get back to that.

"We have to be bold and display the necessary work-rate and passion. We are looking strong at the back and we have to maintain that while being a bit more clever going forward.

"The whole team have to contribute to us being more of an attacking force.


Dario Gradi

"Bristol City are a bigger club than us. They have a decent fanbase and can obviously offer better wages than we can.

"On the pitch we think we can match them. We don't really fear anyone at this level and rightly so. We have played eight of the last nine years in the Championship.

"The players want to improve our away form and as usual they will be looking to win the game."
