Bristol City manager hints he could switch to a back four if he lands his 'prime targets'

Pearson has juggled from a back four to a back three with wing-backs throughout the campaign before settling on the latter in an attempt to solidify the defensive weaknesses in the backline.

The manager, who admitted work is being undertaken behind the scenes ahead of the summer, wasn't prepared to go into detail regarding his targets but conceded the system could change depending on the players he can bring in.
