'This could be a tipping point for us' - Struber

Struber: "It was not easy"

Bristol City boss Gerhard Struber was left upbeat following his side's come-from-behind victory at Blackburn Rovers on Tuesday.

Goals from Emil Riis and Scott Twine before half-time meant they picked up just a third victory from nine Championship games in a 2-1 win.

"It was not easy. After five, six minutes they earned their lead but the reaction was great from the boys and how we played football in the first half and how we drived them down - we realise there could have been another goal or more for us," he told BBC Radio Bristol.

"That's us. In this direction, we showed how good we can be and of course the second half - they [Blackburn] were much more aggressive against us, gave us absolutely no space.

"It was difficult for us. We defended our own goal. It was not always easy to watch but this is not the Blackburn from a few weeks ago - this is a different energy.

"It was really difficult to win here but the boys did it. This could be a really important week, this could be a tipping point for us. We are really, really happy."

Prior to kick-off at Ewood Park, City confirmed on X that defender Rob Dickie will be out for eight to 10 weeks with a hamstring injury, effectively ruling him out for the rest of the regular league campaign.
