Robins 'must do everything to bounce back - Struber

Bristol City head coach Gerhard Struber says his side has to "bounce back" after their 5-1 loss at Stoke City.

Divin Mubama scored a hat-trick for the Potters as the Robins lost for the first time away from home this season.

"This is the Championship and I think the Championship shows us, and especially Stoke City today showed us, a face where we had a lot of problems," Struber told BBC Radio Bristol.

"It's a really good learning point and a really good realisation of what's going on in this league when you're not on the highest level.

"We were not ready in our synchronised pressing, we were not ready to be sharp in transition, and I think they deserved the victory on this level.

"We were not sharp enough for this level and the good thing is we have to learn, we have to reflect, and we have to be very honest with ourselves.

"Everything that can go worst went worst today, but Tuesday night is waiting and we have to do everything right now that we bounce back on Tuesday night with our typical face."
