Bristol City caretaker targets Blackpool win

Last updated : 11 September 2005 By Luke Thornhill
Millen took charge of the City first team on Sunday after Brian Tinnion's resignation following Saturday's 7-1 drubbing at Swansea.

He said: "I'll be meeting the players and staff on Monday before taking charge of training.

"Then I'll have to pick a side to take on Blackpool on Saturday, because we desperately need three points."

Chairman Steve Lansdown has invited Millen to apply for the job on a permanent basis, but Millen is refusing to speculate on that yet.

He added: "The chairman rang me after meeting with Brian, he told me the news and asked if I would take temporary charge of the side.

"He also explained that applications are being taken for the post and would be happy for me to apply if I wanted to.

"It's too early to reply on that front, we'll just have to see how things go."
