Perhaps the strongest piece of evidence that Bristol City will be in the market for a right-back this summer is the fact that six different players have started in the position this season, and none has definitively declared their intentions to keep the position in the long-term.
That is caveated, of course, by George Tanner's hamstring problems as, after a bright start in a red shirt following his summer arrival from Carlisle United, the 22-year-old has spent around three months on the sidelines and Nigel Pearson is being cautious not only over his reintroduction to the first-team but also expectations.
Danny Simpson's exit this week has further limited the manager's options, with Zak Vyner seemingly out of favour, and the current "owner" of the position being 19-year-old forward Sam Bell who's in his first full season as a professional.
