'This is the football I love' - Struber

Struber replaced Liam Manning this summer

Bristol City manager Gerhard Struber was delighted with his side's performance in their 4-2 win over Hull City.

Emil Riis scored twice, with Anis Mehmeti and Max Bird also getting in on the act and victory took City into the early-season Championship play-off places.

"It was a really good atmosphere, the mood was good and I really liked the reaction to the goal we conceded," Struber told BBC Radio Bristol.

"The character and mentality was great; this was the football I love, very diagonal and stressful [for Hull]."

Struber admitted there were difficult points in the game, particularly praising his goalkeeper Radek Vitek.

"In the second half, we needed Radek, he did a great job. In the end, we deserved the win and I was really happy with how we dealt with challenging moments.

"The team was really good; how we reacted to the goal we conceded was the biggest impression from us."

The Robins will be away to Sheffield Wednesday in their first game after the interantional break, on 13 September.
