Pearson present and playing it safe - How George Tanner performed on Bristol City injury return

For the first time this year, George Tanner dusted the cobwebs off his boots to make a welcome return to action on his comeback from injury.

The 22-year-old was named on the teamsheet in Bristol City's Under-23 1-1 draw with Watford earlier on Tuesday, slotting into the right-back role in a game that saw the Robins move to the top of the Professional Development League 2 following Ipswich's surprise defeat at home to Hull.

Manager Nigel Pearson has been eager for 'The Messiah's' return - a tongue in cheek nickname in reaction to the clamour surrounding his impending return - from injury to go under the radar and understandably manage the expectations on his shoulders with City failing to find a winning formula at right-back since the hamstring injury picked up against Queens Park Rangers on December 30.
