Bristol City vs Wolves: The inside track on the Robins

Nathan Judah spoke with John Evely of the Bristol Post, to get his views on Lee Johnson's men.

City are flying this season...Are they overachieving from what was initially expected?

The Robins are certainly overachieving from what was expected at the start off the season when many thought a mid-table finish would be a good achievement.

Anything put a play-off place would now come as a disappointment.

Has the win over Manchester United given the players belief they can cut it in the Premier League?

That is very much the word from the Bristol camp, with talk of life in the Premier League a regular topic in press conferences theses days - remarkable considering they have never been in the Premier League and not in the top flight since 1980.

Bobby Reid has been superb this season, what's he added to his game?

Finishing certainly - but Reid always had the ability to do that. However being pushed forward more allows him to display the best of his game more often whereas he sometimes struggled with the defensive side of being a midfielder.

Who are the other danger men Wolves fans should be wary of in the City ranks?

As the club’s top scorer Bobby Reid is certainly a danger man, his quickness on the break and sharpness in the box make him a real threat.

Goal-scoring centre Aden Flint has also been in fine form this season mainly from set piece moves and has notched six goals in the Championship.

Midfielder Jamie Paterson also has an eye for goal and is also a key assist man.

What kind of system can Wolves expect to face?

Lee Johnson is likely to go for a traditional 4-4-2, with the big question being who will sit up alongside Reid at the top. City’s two big men up front, Famara Diedhiou and Milan Đurić are both injured at the moment leaving him a little short of options.

What have you made of Wolves so far this season?

Scary at times and destined for a return to the Premier League.

What are the strengths and weaknesses of this City team?

Confidence is a strength, the belief the players have is huge. But it can also work against them at time, sometimes over committing and leaving room between the midfield and defence for teams to attack.

What's your prediction for the game?

A draw - City are riding high on a wave of confidence at the moment but Wolves are comfortably top for a reason. Johnson’s side have managed to keep momentum going this season by constantly picking up points.
