Andy King is confident Bristol City are a lot more prepared heading into the new season in comparison to 12 months ago, highlighting the positive atmosphere among the club as one of the major differences.
The 33-year-old midfielder, who recently signed a one-year extension as a player/coach, believes the Robins have everything in place to achieve their aims this season although remains cautious City's lack of squad depth means staying injury-free will be key to any success.
City finished 17th last season and improvements in their league position are mandatory and while manager Nigel Pearson is aiming for promotion, King suggests a top-half finish would be a more realistic ambition.
