City have squad for Struber's new style
Bristol City captain Jason Knight says the new style of play implemented by head coach Gerhard Struber will suit the wants to bring in a more aggressive, attacking-minded style this season, since being appointed in June. "I think we've definitely got the squad for it - we've got a young, hungry group that want to be aggressive, on the front foot and hopefully the fans will see that and the results will back it up," Knight told BBC Radio Bristol."Hopefully it can improve me and bring out the best in me - but that's down to me performing as well." Midfielder Knight led the Robins to the play-offs last season for the first time in 17 years and he said the team need to aim as high again this campaign."You want to keep building, there's no point standing still - we've got to go again, push on more this season and that's what we're going to try and do," Knight said."We're ambitious players, we're ambitious as a club and we've got to reflect that on the pitch as well."We've got to back that up and demand a standard of ourselves in the squad that we go again and push for that same level of success and go for more."
