The signing earlier this month of Kane Wilson should enhance Bristol City in a number of ways but an underrated - albeit slightly obvious - positive by-product of the arrival of the 22-year-old is that Alex Scott probably won’t be seen at right wing-back again.
The 18-year-old was plugged into the position almost by default but such is his maturity and high-level football IQ, more often than not he “did the job”, enabling the system Nigel Pearson eventually deferred to, to function effectively.
With Wilson in situ, however, assuming he does make the expected transition from League Two to the Championship, and George Tanner fit again and offering a more orthodox defensive option, Scott will be seen as third-choice, at best, for that particular position.
