Nigel Pearson on the hidden message behind Bristol City's FA Cup triumph as Sam Bell chimes

Nigel Pearson says the celebrations on the pitch and in the dugout at Swansea City epitomised the togetherness in the squad after Sam Bell sent Bristol City into the FA Cup fourth round.

It was just over three weeks ago when the group of players were booed off the pitch following the Boxing Day home defeat against West Brom with sections of the supporters calling for the manager's dismissal. However, the Robins have responded in an encouraging fashion having gone unbeaten in their last five matches in all competitions.

Tough draws away at Millwall and Coventry followed before Antoine Semenyo stretched the unbeaten run against Swansea in the reverse fixture. Two wins on the bounce at home to Birmingham and at the Liberty Stadium on Tuesday night suggests a corner has been turned following a tumultuous run of form although Pearson will be the first person not to be getting carried away.
