Gary Johnson insists his entire Bristol City squad will be needed for their upcoming, hectic spell of games. The big freeze in January has left City facing 12 games in 47 days between Tuesday - when they visit Watford - and the trip to Peterborough on March 27. At present the manager has 23 players to chose from, while there are nine others who are out on loan elsewhere. Johnson has seen his son Lee benefit from seven games for Derby County during a month's loan. He is now back at Ashton Gate and was expected to be in the 18-man squad for today's home game with Coventry City.

Gary Johnson is certain that Jamal Campbell-Ryce will go from strength to strength for Bristol City. The former Charlton, Leyton Orient and Southend flier was signed on a two-and-a-half year deal from Championship rivals Barnsley during the transfer window. And he had the misfortune to make his debut in the 6-0 home defeat to Cardiff City last week. Playing as a left-winger, Campbell-Ryce was one of the Robins' most effective performers in the early stages of the game, before it began raining goals at the other end. Campbell-Ryce was deployed in a different role at Middlesbrough last weekend, as City switched from 4-4-2 to 3-5-2.

Transfer-listed Bristol City goalkeeper Adriano Basso has turned down the chance to join Exeter City. The League One side are looking for a goalkeeper and City were happy to let the Brazilian, who is refusing to sign a new contract, leave Ashton Gate.
