Nigel Pearson reacts to hostile Bristol City crowd as supporters turn following West Brom defeat

Nigel Pearson says he is "not bothered" by the vocal criticism directed at him after a section of fans vented their frustrations inside a hostile Ashton Gate following defeat at home to West Brom.

The Robins got off to the worst possible start when Matt Phillips opened the scoring after just nine minutes. Moments after Tommy Conway saw an effort saved, he capitalised on a lapse of concentration between Zak Vyner and Andi Weimann, burst into the area and finished beyond Max O'Leary.

Barring a 15-minute spell towards the end of the first half, City were second best for large periods and any hope of a comeback were extinguished when Brandon Thomas-Asante brilliantly beat Max O'Leary from distance.
