City will not make their recent lack of goals a bigger issue than it actually is, according to Gerhard Struber, with the Robins boss “convinced” his side have the striking quality to start scoring more regularly after a challenging few weeks in front of goal.Ahead of their clash with Middlesbrough at Ashton Gate tomorrow, the Robins have scored three goals over the course of their last five matches. Two of those strikes came in the second half of City's draw with Leicester City, a period in which Struber’s side could have and perhaps should have scored more than twice.

In their defeat to Coventry City last weekend, the Robins had more than enough chances to claim at least a point. Adam Randell, Fally Mayulu, and Scott Twine were all denied by Carl Rushworth, while Emil Riis was unable to hit the target from close range with a second-half header.
