'I thought we carried a real threat'

Bristol City boss Liam Manning spoke to BBC Radio Bristol following their 2-1 win over Norwich.

"A nervy last five minutes but it is testament to the group and another experience ticked off," he said.

"We have been in that position numerous times this season and dropped points so to get one over the line, huge credit goes to the lads for staying calm and sticking at it – running, fighting and competing and doing the gritty side of the game that is so important.

"I thought we carried a real threat – Sykesy's goal, a moment of real quality, delighted with the press to regain it for Nahki who obviously had another chance. Some of the attacking moves were really quite slick and we progressed the ball up the pitch really well and caused real problems.

"Nahki's a little frustrated not to score two but you need big players to step up in big moments and delighted we showed the quality to do that. The lads are in a good spot and we have to keep it going.

"We have had some tough times along the way since I have been here, we have taken a bit of stick, but it was around building something, the way we work – coaching takes time, especially how we coach the players, to make decisions and not be robots.

"Naturally along the way, you going to get it right and get it wrong. It's a young group so you have to suck up some tough experiences along the way but what we've done is made sure our behaviours are always good.

"We don't get too hung up if it's been poor and we don't get carried away when it's been good – that's been a massive strength."
