“I watched the game at Huddersfield in midweek and they’re a possession-based side”, McCarthy was quoted as saying by the Blackpool Gazette.
“They had a huge amount of possession and having watched it, they had the best of the chances as well.
“They’re certainly not to be taken lightly and especially not down at Bristol, but we’ve got to go down there and try and win the game, which is what we’ll be doing.
“It’s a slightly different approach to the Burnley game where we knew they would have all the possession.
“We’ve got to try and stop Bristol City from having that possession, probably a bit further up the pitch.
“Their front three, or front four actually, they’re good and they link up together.
“They’re a threat, definitely.”
