Bristol City manager gives Sam Bell verdict after enduring tough afternoon in Birmingham defeat

Nigel Pearson will have no hesitation playing Sam Bell at right wing-back in the future and instead hit out at his team-mates after the defeat to Birmingham.

The 19-year-old endured a tough afternoon up against the pace of Onel Hernandez and was taken off at half-time as the manager switched to a back three with Alex Scott moving into the right wing-back role.

A forward by trade, it is the third time Bell has been shoe-horned into a wing-back following the home win over Middlesbrough and the defeat to Coventry last month.
