The City squad is nearing full strength for the trip to Aston Gate on Sunday (12 noon) to play Bristol City. The flu virus that decimated the squad over Christmas has gone and the injured players, except Scott Young - who is ruled out with a knee injury, have made good progress. Andy Legg and Mike Ford both did well in the reserve game in Swansea yesterday.

Ford may well return to the team for Saturday in place of Craig Middleton in the back three. Ford is Bristol born and the game means a lot to him. His father played for the Robins for 10 years. Josh Low and Jason Fowler are also Bristol born and they will be keen to be involved. Kevin Nugent also has connections with Ashton Gate, he played there for two seasons.

Frank's options are endless then if we have a full squad so I will not begin to speculate yet on a possible strating line up. I would though expect Andy legg to return to the team if he is fit and I would not rule out a chance for Danny Hill after a good performance in the reserves yesterday.

More team news as we get nearer to the game.
