When Nahki Wells trudged off the St Andrews field in the 82nd minute following a 3-0 drubbing away at Birmingham over four months ago, he wouldn't have envisaged not starting a league game since.
As City approach the reverse fixture on Saturday at Ashton Gate, Wells reminded manager Nigel Pearson that he shouldn't be the forgotten man just yet after his performance in the Under-23s on Tuesday.
The 31-year-old scored twice in a 3-1 victory and although it's not exactly the same quality on the pitch, it was a subtle message that he still has something to offer between now and the end of the season.
