Bristol City manager outlines how having 'thugs' in his side can address room for improvement

Nigel Pearson believes his Bristol City side have made progress in developing the dark arts but says there is still plenty of room for improvement, citing the example of promotion-hopefuls Luton Town.

The Robins manager has spoken about the necessity for his side to become more street-wise, especially during last season and the beginning of this campaign, following a history of conceding late goals. There's been little doubt that has improved on the previous campaign.

Last season, City conceded 19 per cent (15/77) of their goals in the last 10 minutes of games. This time around, that now sits at five per cent (5/56).
