Mark Sykes hoping to right a wrong against Huddersfield as he pinpoints Bristol City weakness

Mark Sykes says his Bristol City team-mates have acknowledged the club's recent issues scoring from open play as he sets about putting that right on Tuesday night.

Following Saturday's 2-0 home defeat against Cardiff City, the Robins have scored four in their last six matches, although one of those games came against Manchester City. Two of those goals came from the penalty spot, while Rob Atkinson found the target following a short free-kick routine against Wigan. Prior to that, Sykes scored from open play in the 1-0 victory over Norwich.

Although it's worth noting it hasn't particularly been an ongoing problem throughout the season. City have scored 25 goals from open play, the joint-11th most in the Championship alongside five other sides. In comparison, Tuesday's opponents in Huddersfield only have 15.
