Keith Millen is promising to work "morning, noon and night" in a bid to revive Bristol City's fortunes. Beaten in two of their opening four npower Championship fixtures and still without a win, the Robins are in the bottom three with just two points from a possible 12. A significant influx of new players and a series of injuries to key personnel have proved disruptive and City have conceded an alarming 12 goals in five games so far this season. Those defensive frailties are giving cause for concern among the management team and new boss Millen insisted there is still a good deal of work to be done before things can improve.

Premier League new boys Blackpool and Championship duo Bristol City and Crystal Palace are the clubs in question as they all search for further reinforcements before the close of the transfer window.
