Town manager Roy Keane wants Town to go into the international break on the back of a win against Bristol City tomorrow. Town are still missing Connor Wickham, Damien Delaney, Mark Kennedy but there are no new injury concerns following Town's win against Crewe in midweek and Keane is expected to use the same squad.

Town manager Roy Keane: "Momentum is an important factor in any sport and obviously we want to keep that going as long as possible, we are going into the international break and it's probably come at a decent time for us.

"We have used a lot of the same players in our five matches, so for that reason and the travelling we have had, the break is probably not a bad thing for us.

"It will give the players a chance to recharge their batteries, especially the younger ones who have played more football than perhaps we would have liked at this stage.

"The downside of the break is that we have players going away and we hope they come back clear of injury.

"We know we are in for a tough game, they have brought in two new strikers. We will know all about Steady of course and they will add to their attacking edge.

"We drew with them twice last season, games we could have won but didn't. That was the story of our season of course.

"They've had a few changes lately but they are a good side. We have to be at our best to win football matches and if we are at our best against Bristol, then we have a chance. If we're not, then there's every likelihood we will get beat."

City are able to include Jon Stead in their line up after he joined from Town this week.
