Robins boss sees improvements ahead of Wolves clash

Four months on and little has changed in that regard. with the teams just one place higher each in the division, separated by just six points now, up from four in November.

One big difference though is in the Bristol City hot seat, with Lee Johnson having left Barnsley to replace the sacked Steve Cotterill.

The 34-year-old oversaw three wins in four matches on arrival, but a 2-0 home defeat to Cardiff on Saturday leaves them nervously looking over their shoulders, five points ahead of the relegation zone. However, Johnson believes his team aren't far away from being a competitive one in the Championship.

He said of tonight's game: "It's very similar to Nottingham Forest (Bristol City won 2-1 at the City Ground in their last away game) where you're going to a big stadium, it's new for our players so we've got to make sure they're not rabbits in the headlights.

"When I reviewed the Cardiff game, there's not a lot in it, we're close to being a really good side, whether that's a couple of players, a bit more time, or confidence, or another run like we've had, only time will tell.

"We've got some really good elements to our game, and some bits that need improving.

"We'll try and take the good elements to Wolves, get another one or two per cent like we have being in improving the other bits."

Midfielder Korey Smith is still sidelined with an ankle problem.

But Welsh international full-back Adam Matthews goes straight into the squad, with the 24-year-old former Celtic man having joined on a two-month loan deal yesterday.
