Derek McInnes insists transfer-listed striker Nicky Maynard will be part of his plans for tomorrow's npower Championship game against Reading at the Madejski Stadium. The subject of an unofficial £2m bid from Wigan Athletic earlier this week, Maynard's future is uncertain as the January transfer window enters its final few days. He is refusing to sign a new deal at Ashton Gate, City's board of directors are keen to cash in on one of their biggest assets before Tuesday's transfer deadline and Wigan's offer remains on the table. But despite continuing uncertainty over the striker's future, City manager McInnes says he has no plans to omit Maynard from the squad.

Yannick Bolasie feels he is finally ready to show Bristol City fans just why former manager Keith Millen paid Plymouth Argyle for his services last summer. When Millen took advantage of a cut-price fee to lure the London-born winger to Ashton Gate in July last year, City loyalists were not quite sure what to make of the deal. Whereas Millen saw a player rich in potential and capable of establishing himself in the Championship in the future, others saw someone who had flattered to deceive in a struggling Argyle side that had suffered back-to-back relegation. As the weeks and months went by and Bolasie failed to break into City's starting XI and was restricted to occasional cameo roles as a substitute, so it seemed the sceptics might be proved right after all.
