Nigel Pearson doesn't believe Alex Scott's potential final game at Ashton Gate weighed on his mind after the midfielder had a difficult afternoon in the 2-1 defeat against Burnley.
The 19-year-old talent, heavily linked with a summer exit to the Premier League and more recently with Brighton, had a rare off day including a costly mistake to allow Jay Rodriguez to score his winner moments after Tommy Conway's equaliser.
By his high standards, Scott had a quiet game and he was substituted in the 70th minute, replaced by Nahki Wells as City looked for a route back into the game. On his departure off the field to a standing ovation, Pearson put his arm around his shoulder and had a word in his ear before he took his place on the bench.
