Bristol City boss Manning 'massively proud' after West Ham FA Cup shock

Bristol City boss Liam Manning was full of pride over their FA Cup replay shock against West Ham.

Tommy Conway's third minute goal was enough to send City into the Fourth Round.

Former Hammers coach Manning said: "Massively proud. I think it was another solid performance. We showed real resilience, a good connection and level of organisation. At times it was challenging and we had to keep our emotions in check and we did a terrific job at that.

"We don't carry anybody - everybody attacks and everybody defends. You need everyone to turn up and do the basics as well and when called upon give that little bit extra.

"I actually think we can improve and get a little bit better.

"Phenomenal atmosphere. A special memory for me and the players."

On facing either Blackpool or Nottingham Forest, he added: "We will see how the game looks tomorrow night.

"We had a disappointing performance and result against Preston. It is the challenge now, how do we find the consistency in the league? The lads have shown they can do it against Premier League opposition."
