Robins 'look forward' to home games - Manning

Bristol City have lost only once in their past nine games at Ashton Gate

Bristol City "look forward" to their home games says head coach Liam Manning, with the club having lost only once in their past nine matches at Ashton Gate.

The Robins' strong home run goes back to 30 November and has helped them move up to seventh in the table, level on points with West Brom, and right into the mix of the play-off race.

They face Hull City on Saturday (15:00 GMT), the first of six home games before the end of the campaign.

"We have to be prepared, we have to turn up - we definitely look forward to playing at home at the minute so we have to turn up and be the best versions of ourselves," Manning told BBC Radio Bristol.

Bristol City have lost just one of their past 13 league games against Hull City, a 2-1 defeat in July 2022.

Manning, however, is wary of the challenge the opposition pose even though they are in a relegation battle.

"It's a different challenge on Saturday, that's why we have to show up, we need to work, we need to compete and do everything we can to try and win," he added.

"When you look at them, you know they've got threats, they've got some extremely talented players, they're probably in a little bit of transition with the turnover they've had and they've invested quite a bit of money."
