AliousBristol City suffered a 2-1 defeat to Wolves at Ashton Gate in the third round of the FA Cup, with Scott Twine scoring a free-kick for the Robins.
Despite their efforts, they couldn’t avoid elimination, leaving them to refocus on their Championship campaign.
Manager Liam Manning emphasized the importance of squad depth as his team prepares for the challenges ahead.
Speaking to the club’s official YouTube channel, he said: “The depth (of the squad) is important. We knew we had to make changes for some freshness.
We have a busy week ahead, so the lads who came in made a good impact.
Now it’s about learning from today, working hard, and building on positive league results.”
With the January transfer window open, Manning has the opportunity to strengthen his squad while potentially allowing some players to leave.
Elsewhere in the Championship, transfer rumors are heating up.
Sheffield United and Sunderland are reportedly competing to sign Leicester City striker Tom Cannon, according to Alan Nixon.
Cannon, currently on loan at Stoke City, has been in fine form this season with 11 goals in 25 appearances.
Despite joining Stoke in August with high expectations and expressing his excitement about playing for the club, his future there remains uncertain.
Both Sheffield United and Sunderland are now looking to secure the 22-year-old’s services before the window closes.
In addition, Hull City are reportedly close to securing the loan signing of Leeds United striker Joe Gelhardt, as per *HullLive*.
Gelhardt, who has struggled for game time at Elland Road, is expected to head out on loan to gain more minutes on the pitch.
Hull, currently sitting in the bottom three alongside Plymouth Argyle and Cardiff City, are hoping Gelhardt can provide the attacking boost needed to climb out of the relegation zone.
Manager Ruben Selles, appointed earlier this winter after the dismissal of Tim Walter, has already made a positive impression and will look to Gelhardt to help turn the team’s fortunes around.
With the transfer window in full swing, clubs across the Championship are actively exploring options to strengthen their squads for the second half of the season.
Bristol City, like their rivals, have until the end of the month to make key additions and offload players to set themselves up for success in the coming months.
