Bristol City’s point at QPR leaves them four points inside the top six. They have the likes of West Brom, Millwall and Middlesbrough chasing them down. Meanwhile, Coventry take on Hull City away on Monday night.
The Robins decided not to sign anyone in the January transfer window. They opted to stick with what they had beyond the deadline this past winter. However, that decision hasn’t come back to haunt them by any means.
Speaking after their clash against the R’s, Manning said: “We challenged the lads after the international break and said ‘Look, eight games, two blocks of four, can we, after the first block of four, give ourselves something to play for going into the final stretch?’
“And when you look at the week the lads have had, it’s been terrific to sustain the levels and the challenge. I’d have taken two wins and a draw from the week. The lads have made huge strides. Four to go, let’s see how we go.”
