'There were too many mistakes' - Manning

Bristol City sit in fifth position with a four-point cushion on seventh-placed Middlesbrough

Bristol City boss Liam Manning said that his side made "too many mistakes" in their defeat to Luton Town on Monday.

The Robins failed to register a shot on target in the first half and conceded three in the second.

They ended the day in fifth position with a four-point cushion on seventh-placed Middlesbrough, but missed the chance to ensure a play-off spot as they lost at Kenilworth Road.

"There's an element of frustration because it feels more on us than them," He told BBC Radio Bristol.

"You could sense in the second-half they're fighting for their lives but you have make the game look like you want it to.

"We shifted the momentum in their favour with an error, there were too many mistakes and we didn't take our chances.

"We have to be disappointed with our performance but step back and it's still in our hands - when you're in a performance industry like the lads are you have to stay brave, stay focused and very much play the game and not the occasion.

"The more this goes on you just love the Championship."
