Rob Atkinson admits confidence in his own game is allowing him to showcase his ability in becoming Bristol City's ball carrier out of defence.
The centre-back has continued where he left off towards the end of last season having cemented his reputation of being one of the most consistent players among the squad.
One particular trait of his game this season has been his ability to bring the ball out of defence and contribute to the attack. Tommy Conway's goal at Norwich was a prime example when a driving run forward opened up space for Nahki Wells whose cross landed on the head of his prolific strike partner.
