O'Driscoll charged with saving City

Bristol City have turned to Sean O'Driscoll as the man to try and help them move clear of the wrong end of the Championship table and escape the drop.

The Robins currently prop up the table and are six points adrift of safety, with a 4-0 home defeat to Leicester City spelling the end for manager Derek McInnes at the weekend.

O'Driscoll was recently axed by Nottingham Forest, but Robins football managing director Jon Lansdown is confident that the ailing Ashton Gate club have got the right man for the job.

"In Sean we have someone with a track record of developing clubs longer term, as well as a wealth of experience at this level, which will be vital in our fight for survival in the Championship," Lansdown told the club's official website.

"This season has been a rocky ride and we find ourselves in a difficult position, but we still have the time and ability to get out of it."

City's next game is a tough assignment against Leeds United at Elland Road next Saturday, with the Robins 3.60 to gain a draw and 6.00 to keep a clean sheet, while the home side are 8.50 to win 2-0.

Ironically, O'Driscoll's last game in charge of Forest was a 4-2 home victory over Leeds on Boxing Day.
