Wing-back attack: Key match ups ahead of Bolton Wanderers vs Bristol City

Unfortunately for the Whites, no team in the Championship is an easy ploy, even if the Robins are on a barren run of form.

Michael Skubala's team are yet to really settle since his introduction this summer. Last season, Skubala was in-charge of Lincoln City that stormed their way to the League One title with a mix of experience, exuberance and a play style that was as unapologetic as ever.

Doing the same at Ashton Gate may have been the plan on day one, but instead Skubala insisted he wanted something different with his intention to play 'quick and exciting football', a long way from the direct, out-of-possession football witnessed with the Imps. At present, the Robins have not lived up to the sentiment.
