Boss pleased with duo

Boss Gary Johnson hailed the impact Marvin Elliott and Nicky Maynard had on his Bristol City side's 4-1 win over Doncaster.

Elliott, making his first appearance of the season after recovering from injury, came off the bench at half time and inspired the Robins in the second 45 minutes as Johnson's side scored all four goals in a devastating 26-minute spell at Ashton Gate.

And the Robins boss heaped praise on the midfielder's contribution.

"Marvin Elliott gives great energy to our side. It's great to have him back and it didn't take him long to make an impact," Johnson said.

He also hailed Maynard for bouncing back from a poor display against Birmingham last week.

"It's good to get our first home league win of the season and I'm delighted for Nicky Maynard because I gave him a bit of a rocket after our defeat by Birmingham in midweek," he added.

"His response was to score one goal and make another so he had a real effect on the game. He's a young lad and that can only do him the world of good.

On his side's overall display, he said: "We needed that first goal but overall I thought we played very well. We have worked hard on opening up teams this week and we created a lot of chances."
