Nigel Pearson has called on Bristol City's fringe players to grasp their opportunity with both hands ahead of a relentless run of fixtures until the World Cup.
The Robins have eight games in October and a further four at the beginning of November before a three-week break following a home clash against Watford on November 12.
It will prove a testing but crucial period for City and a fixture list that provides a welcome challenge to progress up the table with five of their next eight matches being hosted at Ashton Gate. However, Pearson will need to manage minutes carefully as he deals with a relatively small squad of players.
