I have played in all four of the previous games against Bristol City and we are due a win.

They are effectively a Championship side with Championship players and it is going to be difficult but if we bring our A-game, then we have every chance.

We played well the last time we met them and hopefully this time we’ll go one better.

We made Swindon look average. They are probably the best footballing side in the division and if we can do it to them, then we can do it to anyone.

I managed to get my place back in the side recently and I’ve had a few injuries this season. It’s been a tough year in that respect. I’ve played games while carrying knocks as well.

I feel I am getting over them now and I’m feeling fitter. It would have done me a favour being out the team for a couple of weeks recently, giving my body a chance to recover.

Hopefully, I can stay fit until the end of the season.

I’ve got a manager that played in my position and I am sure over time the gaffer will help me.

We’ve got a few weeks left until the end of the season and I will try and learn what I can off him.
