00:00Bristol City head coach Liam Manning has criticised the fixture scheduling for his side in the

00:06Championship in the coming week. The Robins are at home to Swansea City at half past twelve

00:12on Saturday before then making an away trip to Stoke City at quarter to eight on Wednesday

00:17evening before then being away to Cardiff City at half twelve on Saturday following.

00:25Manning described the schedule as just madness as well as horrific but made clear that his

00:31squad will have to be utilised to its fullest extent for the coming week. The Robins sit

00:37just outside of the play-offs in the Championship and know that wins in all three of those games

00:42would massively boost their chances of being promoted this season. However, Manning has

00:47made clear that the depth of his squad will certainly be tested over the coming week and

00:51he needs his players to remain as fresh as possible if they are to pick up anywhere close

00:56to maximum points in the games.
