John Pemberton not planning wholesale changes

Bristol City interim head coach John Pemberton has insisted that he will not make many changes to the side when they face Preston North End on Saturday.

The 49-year-old has taken temporary charge of team affairs following the sacking of Sean O'Driscoll on Thursday.

Pemberton has said that he will keep faith with the side that held Leyton Orient to a 2-2 draw on Tuesday, which was O'Driscoll's final match at the helm.

"It would be stupid to change it a lot because I thought the performance on Tuesday was excellent," Pemberton told the club's official website.

"Seeing how people are feeling will decide whether we change what we do in terms of personnel, because we've got one or two injuries and one or two knocks and bruises from the other day who won't play."

The Robins sit 22nd in League One, two points adrift of safety.
