Gary Johnson has promised disappointed Bristol City fans he will work morning, noon and night to put things right following defeat to Championship leaders Birmingham in midweek. City's players were today back on the training ground in preparation for Saturday's Ashton Gate clash with Doncaster Rovers. And having watched a video re-run and dissected Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Blues, Johnson is demanding a significant improvement in both penalty areas. Although City more than matched the title favourites in terms of possession, they lacked a cutting edge in the final third and the manager afterwards admitted his team had been second best where it mattered most. "There were some things I was very pleased with and others I wasn't so pleased about," claimed the Londoner. "I can promise our supporters we'll be working very hard on those things I wasn't pleased with. We'll work morning, noon and night to get it right and I've told the lads I'm going to run them into the ground to improve their movement in the 18-yard box. We've talked about the last game and, hopefully, we've learned from it. Now we have to try and put right those things that were wrong in time for the Doncaster game."

Gary Johnson was not happy with the lack of chances his side created following Bristol City's 2-1 defeat to Birmingham at Ashton Gate. The Robins boss watched his side go two-down in a disappointing first half to a Louis Carey own goal and a Cameron Jerome effort. Despite improving after the break they only managed to pull one back 11 minutes from time with substitute Lee Trundle scoring from near the half way line after picking up Blues keeper Maik Taylor's attempted clearance. Johnson kept his players locked in the dressing-room for 45 minutes after the game and later said: "We were not good enough with our final ball or our movement inside the penalty area. That goes for everyone, not just the strikers."
