Nigel Pearson insists he has "no problem" with fans venting their fury at him or the team after being verbally targeted following Bristol City's 2-0 defeat to Barnsley on Tuesday night.
Pearson walked towards the tunnel at Oakwell following the loss and stopped to face two travelling Robins fans who made it abundantly clear what they thought of the performance in Yorkshire as City fell to their 19th reverse of the campaign.
The manager faced the two fans at a short distance for a brief couple of seconds to hear their grievances and then headed down the tunnel to the changing room before discussing it post-match.
