Nigel Pearson delivers verdict on Bristol City win and responds to potential play-off charge

Nigel Pearson believes Bristol City now have a team the supporters can be proud of as 23,000 fans helped roar them to a 1-0 victory over Norwich.

The Robins stretched their unbeaten run to nine games in all competitions after Mark Sykes grabbed his fifth goal in six matches when his first-half strike squirmed under the arms of Angus Gunn. It was another dogged performance, built from the back as the hosts limited Norwich to just one shot on target.

It was a game of few chances but City were resolute at the back, driven by the superb performances of full-backs George Tanner and Cam Pring with the duo instrumental in the victory. The closest the visitors came was deep in the second half when Onel Hernandez's effort was deflected over his own crossbar by Andi Weimann.
