Win over Sunderland has done City the 'power of good'

You were sort of thinking back to that Hull City game where City couldn't break Hull down and they defended with everybody behind the ball.

But I think in the second half it is a masterstroke he [Liam Manning] put Ross McCrorie on the left-hand side, he really did well attacking those crosses and he popped up to score the winning goal.

Bristol City just made better decisions, they were a little more patient in the build-up. Sunderland defended really, really well at times. Of course it would have been a different game 11 v 11 but you've got to take what's on offer - I always say - on the day. And they turned no points into three points.

Both Coventry and Middlesbrough play each other on the last day of the season and both teams might need to win get in the play-offs, that might be to City's advantage.

I thought five points [would be enough to secure a play-off spot] before the game. That game on Monday is going to be extra tough as Luton have had a little bit of a lift, beating Derby and they're fighting for their lives.

We expect that to be tough, we expect Leeds to be tough but they've done themselves the power of good just getting three points against a Sunderland team that have already guaranteed their place in the play-offs.

In spite of playing the 10 men we've seen what their threat is. [Eliezer] Mayenda was excellent, that was a brilliant individual goal.

Dust yourselves down, get to Luton and keep enjoying the ride on this rollercoaster.
