Bradley Orr believes Bristol City's season can only be regarded as a success if the Robins win promotion via the play-offs.City were rank outsiders to reach the Premier League at the start of the campaign in their first season back in the Championship following an eight-year absence.

However, following a season in which they have flirted with automatic promotion, Gary Johnson's side are now guaranteed a place in the play-offs.

It could be argued that the club and its fans would have gladly taken a top-six finish in August, but Orr insists the players and management feel it would be a let-down if they are not in the top-flight come the start of next season.

The right-back, who was named in the Championship team of the year at the PFA awards this week, told City's official website: "As far as we're concerned, this season will only be a success if we win promotion in the play-offs.

"People are saying we have had a great season and done really well to finish as high as we have, but that is not enough for us."
