Bristol City loanee Sam Bell has set out his goals for his loan spell with Wycombe Wanderers<\/a>, with the forward keen to help the Chairboys get back to where they “should be” in the League One table after firing them to their first away win of the season.<\/p>\n Bell, who made the temporary move to Adams Park from Ashton Gate on transfer deadline day<\/a>, scored the third goal of his loan spell as Michael Duff’s side ran out 1-0 winners over Wigan Athletic on Saturday afternoon to move a point clear of the relegation zone.<\/p>\n In a tight game at the DW Stadium, the 23-year-old produced what proved to be the winner when he turned home with his right foot from close range, having been picked out by a low Fred Onyedinma cross at the end of a swift counter-attacking move.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Norwich defender reportedly set to miss Bristol City visit after injury on international duty<\/a>READ MORE: Charlotte Healy details Bristol City Women frustration as Reds concede late to draw to Newcastle<\/a><\/p>\n Wycombe had to deal with plenty of pressure from the Latics over the remainder of the contest, but with the aid of goalkeeper Will Norris, the Chairboys were able to return to Adams Park with all three points and a first away league clean sheet of the campaign.<\/p>\n “I think everyone is pretty tired, both physically and mentally,\u201d Bell told Wycombe\u2019s media team<\/a> post-match. \u201cIt was a tough grind, but we all dug in and got the three points in the end.\u201d<\/p>\n On his goal, the forward added, “I think it was perhaps one of the only bits of quality in the game, to be honest. Hendo drove with the ball well, played Fred in, and we’ve worked on it a lot in the week, just getting into the middle of the goal.<\/p>\n \u201cThankfully, Fred put in a great ball, and I was there to finish it off.<\/p>\n Bristol City looking to build on last season’s play-off finish under Gerhard Struber and you won’t miss a beat with our free newsletter.<\/p>\n All the latest news, views, interviews, gossip and analysis concerning the Robins, delivered straight to your inbox.<\/p>\n It’s completely free and you can sign up HERE<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cNaturally, we sort of sink into a bit of a protection mode,\u201d he continued. \u201cBut I thought throughout the game, we ran for each other, we fought for each other, and then there were times where certain individuals had to dig us out, like Will’s save right at the end.<\/p>\n \u201cThat was crucial, but there were other moments where the lads did similar things. That’s what I mean by we’ve got that togetherness, and we really fought for each other today.\u201d<\/p>\n Prior to making the move to Adams Park<\/a> in early September, Bell’s minutes at Ashton Gate had been rather limited over the course of the last couple of seasons.<\/p>\n The 23-year-old didn’t start a single Championship game for the Robins last term, and his only competitive involvement under Gerhard Struber had come in the form of a 20-minute cameo against Sheffield United<\/a> and a start in a much-changed side to face Fulham in the Carabao Cup.<\/p>\n Join Bristol City Live’s Whatsapp community for all the biggest Bristol City stories sent straight to your phone<\/strong><\/p>\n Bristol City Live<\/a> is now on WhatsApp and we want you to join our community.<\/p>\n Through the app, we\u2019ll send the Bristol City news, live match coverage, team news, transfers, fixtures, analysis and more straight to your phone.<\/p>\n To join our community you need to already have WhatsApp. All you need to do is click this link and select \u2018Join Community\u2019.<\/a><\/p>\n No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Bristol Live<\/a> team.<\/p>\n We also treat community members to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners.
