It shouldn't come as a huge surprise, given Bristol City's status as the Championship's third weakest defensive team for goals conceded, but Nigel Pearson has indicated that signing at least one centre-back will be a transfer priority this summer.
Resolving the Robins' defensive issues has become a primary task for Pearson as it's been 15 matches since their last clean sheet and in that period of time they've conceded an average of 2.33 goals per game.
Pearson has frequently said that City must defend as a team, so it's not only the defence's responsibility to keep the ball out of the back of the net, but speaking on Thursday, the manager outlined some of his intentions for the next transfer window.
