City head coach Lee Johnson met with the media ahead of the Emirates FA Cup third round replay at Fleetwood Town tomorrow (Tuesday, 7.45pm).
Here’s what he had to say…
- Callum O'Dowda was the only player to pick up a knock from Saturday but he should be fine for tomorrow night
- Hordur Magnusson has been back in training for a week now and is fit to start
- Gary O'Neil has only trained for a couple of days but Johnson says: "He has a good set of lungs on him"
- Adam Matthews has been jogging on the treadmill but still hasn't returned to full training
- Johnson admits, with two big games coming up this week, that team selection is a Catch 22 situation
- The head coach admits there are "two or three players" who have waited patiently and deserve a chance to feature at Fleetwood
- Johnson still aiming to strengthen in the transfer market
- City boss adds: "Football is never easy. It's in the blood, it's what I do and I love it. I fully believe we can turn the corner"
- Johnson said: "We're on a poor run of form. Can we come out of it? Absolutely"
- Head coach reveals he received "a few nice text messages" from the players after the game of Saturday
- City boss says the players have been great, with no ill discipline or lack of hard work on the training pitches
- Luke Freeman's situation remains unchanged, he adds
- Johnson admits he's going through "a steep learning curve" but insists: "Every manager who is successful goes through spells like this...it's how you deal with it"
- City happy for Arnold Garita to remain at Plymouth Argyle on loan
