There's a hint of irony in the fact that Bristol City now have stiff competition for options at right wing-back when the Robins' squad remains on the thin side.
Throughout last season, manager Nigel Pearson was scraping the barrel for names who could fill the void with Alex Scott eventually becoming the most trustworthy name to take responsibility.
Sam Bell was given a handful of minutes on that side, Andi Weimann performed admirably but that limited his threat up the other end of the pitch, George Tanner struggled with injury and Zak Vyner couldn't make the position his own.
