City boss puts focus on upping his side’s goal tally

CREATING chances to score more goals has been high on the Bristol City agenda in training this week.

It’s an area Lee Johnson believes needs strengthening as the squad looks to add more goals to their tally.

After coming away from Ipswich Town’s Portman Road ground with three goals a week ago, they delivered a host of crosses against Millwall at the weekend, although they could not turn many of those opportunities into clear chances.

The head coach is now preparing his side to take on Birmingham City at St Andrew’s on Saturday.

Johnson said: “We’ve had a bit of consistency in our performances, we’ve got a bit of our identity back with those busy little bees creating numerical advantages.

“Against Millwall we dominated but to lose the two points through a poor goal was disappointing, but there were a lot of positives.

“Training this week has been built around crosses and putting bodies in the box, getting forward and being brighter so we continue to work hard and we look forward to the game at the weekend.

“We’re not the finished article, we never have been and we have to be humble in the way we approach our training and games.

“We have to strive to improve every day and that doesn’t change. There are always elements we want to improve and this week the structure of training has been built around finishing and getting more bodies in goalscoring areas.”
