Nigel Pearson has challenged Cam Pring to cement his place in the Bristol City side following a string of impressive performances.
The 24-year-old has endured a frustrating spell on the sidelines and out of the squad, especially during the second half of last season and the beginning of the current campaign. His start against Swansea at the end of October was his first in the league since April.
Pring's involvement was partly down to injuries to Kal Naismith and Tomas Kalas while Rob Atkinson was also dealing with illness. He grasped his opportunity with both hands having started four of the last five matches on the left of a back three.
