Bristol City assistant Curtis Fleming believes Zak Vyner is rediscovering a belief in his game that is rewarding him with a consistency he failed to maintain last season.
The Robins defender's reemergence in the side has been one of the biggest surprises of the season after his future at the club appeared all-but over heading into the summer. The 25-year-old has started every game and despite a difficult showing in the 3-2 defeat at home to Sunderland, Vyner has been largely impressive, particularly in the victories over Luton and Cardiff.
The complexity of failing to sign another central defender has played a part in Vyner's comeback into the side although manager Nigel Pearson has made it no secret of his desire to bring in another player at the back if the opportunity arises.
