Brownhill relishing the return of league action

Lee Johnson’s side will make the relatively short trip along the M4 to face last year’s Sky Bet Championship play-off finalists Reading, who have endured a mixed start to their campaign. 

Brownhill - who has started each of City’s league fixtures this term - believes he and his team-mates are in good spirits as they approach a run of seven games in September, just as they did in August. 

“I enjoyed the international break,” Brownhill told BCTV. "I went home to see some friends and family who I haven’t seen for a couple of months so it was nice to see them. 

“I don’t think I have ever played this number of games in such a short space of time. It is hard but I am quite a fit lad so fortunately I have been able to deal with it. 


“I think we have everything we need to recover which helps. We have cryotherapy, massages and ice baths, so when we use all of this we should be ready for the games. 


“Reading are a great team, a very good footballing team, but they are beatable. 


"They have lost twice already, while we have lost once. We are on good run of form and playing very well so we will give them a good game.”
