It’s been a weekly thought process for each of the last three Bristol City managers, albeit with Dean Holden not afforded near as much opportunity as Nigel Pearson and Lee Johnson: how do I get Andi Weimann into my starting XI?
The Austrian has been a consistent starter since he arrived at the club in the summer of 2018 and whether it be at right-wing, central striker, withdrawn forward, centre midfielder, false 10 or right wing-back, when he’s been fit he’s always tended to start.
That decision to ponder has been taken away from Pearson for today’s game against Birmingham City and potentially at least the next three Championship fixtures, due to the 31-year-old’s hamstring injury sustained against Swansea City.
