Nigel Pearson will look to continue finding the blend between strengthening in specialist positions and signing versatile players as the focus turns to summer recruitment.
The January arrivals of Anis Mehmeti and Harry Cornick have given the manager plenty of options going forward, with the duo sharing the ability to play anywhere across the front three. The likes of Cam Pring and George Tanner have also had to feature in unfamiliar centre-back roles over the course of the season, due to ongoing injury issues that have left the manager short of options in defence.
City remain in talks to sign Aberdeen's Ross McCrorie in the summer, a player who can play in several different positions. He's played as a defensive midfielder, at central defence, at wing-back and as a right-back meaning he is adept at providing cover across the field.
