Gary Johnson admits Sheffield Wednesday could represent something of an unknown quantity when they visit Ashton Gate tomorrow (3pm).
The City boss has watched his charges string together a five-match unbeaten run, and he's hoping that sequence will continue against the Owls.
Wednesday visit Bristol on the back of a 4-1 televised mauling at Watford last Friday, and Gary believes that could mean changes are afoot for the opposition.
The City boss told Player: "When you lose 4-1, often a manager looks at his squad to bring in other players and liven things up - perhaps giving one or two a kick up the backside.
"That means we're not sure of their starting eleven, their shape or their philosophy. Generally they like to play a bit of football, but it makes them a little bit unknown.
"We may have to be patient."
"Two wins in a row is not a run, but three is."

"We've been on a good run since the defeat at Derby, when we had ten men. We've secured two wins and three draws, which leaves us in a good position.
"Two wins in a row is not a run, but three is. I'm looking forward to being back here at Ashton Gate and we'll need the fans behind the players like they were for the Plymouth game.
"We're playing good football and competing well at this level against some top teams. There is also a work-rate that is second-to-none."
Bradley Orr is rated doubtful due to Achilles and calf problem, while Liam Fontaine (ankle) and Brian Wilson (shin) remain sidelined.
