Bristol City are a 'strong unit' says Vyner

Bristol City defender Zak Vyner believes the team's togetherness is a big part of their success this season as they look to move into the top six on Saturday when they face Hull.

The Robins are seventh in the table, level on points with West Brom above them, and pushing for a top six finish in the Championship for the first time since 2007-2008.

"We are together, there's no other way to put it," Vyner - who scored his first goal for almost two years in the 2-0 win against Millwall on Tuesday - told BBC Radio Bristol.

"Whoever comes on the pitch knows what they're doing, if someone makes a mistake the next person is right there to back them up and that's what we're built on, that's the foundations. "

Bristol City have lost only twice in their past 12 league games since the Christmas period to surge into the race for the play-offs.

"We're happy together, we are a real tight-knit unit, we have each other's backs. What stands out his year is in games that don't look like anything happening we still all have the belief on the pitch that something is going to happen and that showed [against Millwall]," Vyner added.

"We're turning those into wins, and that's the difference this year. We are a strong unit and hopefully we can continue the form we're in."
