    It's in our own hands - Pemberton.

    First team coach on the task ahead.

    John Pemberton insists City’s survival bid is very much in their own hands as they prepare to face a number of teams in and around them in the table.

    First up is a trip to Shrewsbury Town, who occupy the relegation zone but are just three points behind the Robins.

    City also have fixtures to come against the other three teams in the drop zone – Notts County, Stevenage and Crewe Alexandra, as well as Colchester United, who are a point ahead of Steve Cotterill’s men.

    “We know it’s in our own hands,” said the first team coach told Bristol City Player.

    "If we take care of our own business we will be fine. There are teams around us we have to play and, if we get those games right, we will be okay.

    "Everybody always looks at other results and the league is slowly catching up with itself. Other teams still have games in hand and we will know where we stand by the end of next week.

    "In the meantime, we need to win some football matches and get ourselves out of trouble.

    “Shrewsbury will be organised and difficult to beat. It won’t be easy, of course, but no games are in this division.

    “We’re both in a tough position at present but we have a positive mindset and will need to be patient when necessary. The important thing is we make possession count and don’t turn the ball over cheaply because then you can get caught.”

    Simon Moore will be assessed after a groin injury kept him out of Saturday’s 2-1 win over Gillingham.

    Scott Wagstaff and Liam Kelly have returned to training and could be in contention.

    We need all the luck and effort we can generate, including favours.

    I'd take anything but we shouldn't be relying on luck or favours we've done that for too many seasons and we need to get our own results sorted and ignore everybody else like Sheff Utd have done.

    The players need to take collective responsibility for making sure we stay in this division.

    It's in our own hands as usual

    It is massive and it would be nice, for once, to get a positive performance and a positive result

    Evening Rickster

    'Like last saturday ?'

    Gillingham were utterly useless last w/e.
    My mate Gillett got us out of jail with a wonder strike, if he hadn't ..........
    So I worry for us tomorrow, surely Shrewsbury can't be as bad.

    Lets keep everything crossed.

    Yes ! Should have added away from home, given we've only won twice on the road this season

    If we can't, then it very clearly illustrates the trouble we are in!!
