HASSELBAINK WARY OF ‘DANGEROUS’ BRISTOL CITY
“The mood is good here after two very good matches for us. We just need to keep going, and keep putting on those performances with that kind of intensity and workload. We have to build on them.”
Hasselbaink will have to do without the services of James Perch, while midfielder Sandro is in a race-against-time to be fit for the game at Ashton Gate. Perch limped out of the action against the Seagulls with what seemed a serious knee injury, but Hasselbaink has revealed the defender should be back in contention sooner rather than later.
“Perch's injury is not as serious as we thought, luckily. It will be a few weeks (before he is back) but it is more bruising around the knee than a big problem. Hopefully he is a quick healer and we get him back sooner. There is bruising under the kneecap as well, so it is an awkward one.
Sandro is going to be touch-and-go. He has a calf problem, but we are going to have a look and hopefully he will make it.
Bristol City are dangerous, period. I think they are in a false position. They are a very good team with very good ethics. They are a very dangerous team going forward, and have several players who can give you a very difficult game. We have to respect them, and go there with the right attitude. And we have to be on our game.
I like my teams to dictate the tempo of the game. We have to go there with the intent to take the game to the opponent, and make it really difficult for them. There are several ways of doing that, and we might have to do it a different way against Bristol City, but we do like to play with tempo.”
