00:00Bristol City head coach Gerhard Struber has revealed that the injury to Rob Atkinson

00:04picked up against Oxford United was not a serious one.

00:08Yeah, we do everything that he's back on the weekend.

00:14Right now he's not involved in the training, but first of all, and this is the most important

00:19thing, everything good with the ligaments.

00:22This was a little bit of a wrong move, and in the end, the bone kiss, a special word.

00:33I hear it the first time.

00:35I was also lucky, but this was a bone kiss in the knee.

00:40I never heard it before, but yeah, so this is a little bit of a bruise.

00:45So I think when he can deal with the pain, then in a way that he can play, then it looks

00:52good for the weekend.

00:54Because that's very positive news.

00:55So in brief, was he taken off as a precaution more on Sunday?

01:00Did you fear the worst at the time, and are you pleased that you're talking about it potentially

01:03being available on Saturday?

01:06Yeah, of course.

01:08I think right now, with all the other players, it looks good for Rob.

01:14And Bristol Rovers head coach, Daryl Clark, has maintained that the Rovers' attitude will

01:19always remain the same throughout the season.

01:20You know, no disrespect, we didn't look like we were going to go under, but some dangerous

01:24moments at times, but we put a couple of dangerous balls in their box, didn't quite

01:27get on the end of things.

01:28So, listen, it has to be analysed, and watch the game back tomorrow, I know a lot more,

01:34and we'll review it Monday.

01:36No two games are the same, but if you compare it to the Chesterfield game, where it's 1-0 heading

01:39into the final moments, was it about getting a point and sort of coming away with something?

01:43Yeah.

01:44Listen, if you're going to say to me every three away games, you're going to get seven

01:47points out of it, I'm going to be a happy guy.

01:48But we wanted a better performance today, we didn't quite get that, but we dug in and

01:54got a point.

01:55I don't think there was a lot in the game, if I'm honest with you.

01:57They were always going to give a reaction after their poor performance, and they'll take

02:00plenty of points off teams.

02:01So, it's a hard-earned point, we'll put it in the bag, we'll get ourselves over and then

02:05prepare for next week.

02:06Yeah, finally, win, lose or draw, it's always the same attitude into the next game, isn't

02:09it?

02:10Always, always.

02:11So, that's the feeling.

02:12Thank the fans that came and the numbers.

02:14Thank you very much.
