Aden Flint: 'Bristol City cannot be scared of Middlesbrough'

Aden Flint has insisted that Bristol City will head to Middlesbrough this weekend with no fear.

The Robins have picked up just one point since returning to the Championship, courtesy of a late comeback against Leeds United last time out.

Next up for City is a tough trip to take on last season's beaten playoff finalists, but Flint is confident that his side can pick up a positive result in the North-East.

"I think it'll be an entertaining game," he told the club's official website. "It's a big pitch and stadium, something we're going to enjoy.

"Middlesbrough were in the playoffs last year but we can't go up there and be scared of them - we have to go and play our game. It's going to be a good game for us."

Middlesbrough have secured five points from their opening three fixture of the campaign to leave themselves in fifth place.
