After an enforced break away from the pitch, Bristol City are visitors at Kenilworth Road on Sunday as the gaffer hopes to keep this unbeaten run in December going.

"We’re at home on Boxing Day, it is a big game and we love playing at the Kenny in front of a full house, we just hope we can be ourselves. Whatever we do well, we want to do well and we trained well today so if we can repeat that, then we will be very happy.

"Bristol City is a tough, tough game, very experienced group with an experienced manager and as I said, it is a tough game but it’s the Championship and if you don’t expect tough games in the Championship, you are going to get punished."

He also spent time delivering a Christmas message to the supporters who have stuck by and supported the club magnificently through a tough couple of years away from the pitch.

"The Luton fans, for the way that they have supported the club, got behind everyone and the way they have responded and the attitude they have shown, we’ve all needed to come together and we want to give them something special because it is a special club, with a special group of people running it, working for it and supporting it.

"For a Christmas message, I don’t want to be the Queen or anything but the club is in a wonderful place, it has wonderful people from top to bottom, wonderful supporters that back it, sacrifice for it and would metaphorically die for this club.

"That is a great thing to be a part of and I’m very proud this Christmas time to be at the forefront of driving this football club forward so Merry Christmas to all the Lutonians and Hatters out there, I hope that we can give you something to cheer about."
