Match Day Thread Bristol City v Swansea City

It’s on Sky tonight …. surely, we can’t be that bad again

 

My Sky subscription finished yesterday, maybe that's a good thing at the moment

 

Shirley might think we can't but I wouldn't bet on it

 

Bristol City: Dan Bentley (captain), Danny Simpson, Jay Dasilva, Rob Atkinson, Matty James, Chris Martin, Andreas Weimann, Cameron Pring, Tomas Kalas, Alex Scott, Han-Noah Massengo.

Substitutes: Max O’Leary, Tyreeq Bakinson, Nathan Baker, Antoine Semenyo, Nahki Wells, Andy King, Kasey Palmer.

Swansea City: Steven Benda; Joel Latibeaudiere, Brandon Cooper, Ryan Manning; Ethan Laird, Jay Fulton, Matt Grimes (captain), Jake Bidwell; Jamie Paterson, Liam Cullen, Joel Piroe.

Substitutes: Ben Hamer, Jamal Lowe, Morgan Whittaker, Kyle Joseph, Yan Dhanda, Lincoln Mcfayden, Dan Williams.

 

Why give not give Whittaker a runout

 

Cabango & Downes have Covid, hence the omission

 

I’d have played him ahead of Cullen

 

Me too, all day long.

 

Well how bad at the back do we look. I am actually worried how this could go. Super lightweight. Hope it’s not the battering I fear. Cullen is not ready and needs to play some lower league football. The manager says himself him and Whitaker need to go out on loan as not ready yet one starts one on the bench. Is this the best we have. Probably one of the worst 11 I have seen is out on the pitch for over 15 years.
Be more than happy to eat humble pie if wrong. Just hope Bristol are ****e tonight.

 

Bristol City are yet to win at home under Pearson - well, that’s about to change ….

 

I am staggered that it has been allowed to get to this, we are a shambles, do I watch or record and watch if we do ok.

 

I don't see anything different to the last games. We will pass the ball a lot (I thought we were quicker getting it forward on Tuesday night although others seemed to disagree). Then we will get to the edge of their penalty area and eventually lose it.

Maybe 0-0 is a decent shout.

 

Sick of Covid now.

Edit: not literally (to the best of my knowledge). Although I have been feeling particularly tired this week. Maybe I have got it....

 

and myself , he's a bit more imposing . Cullen will have his time but with us and at this level , I'm not so sure

 

Agreed

 

That's tends to happen to some people ,

 

Probably next year in league 1 so get him there now climatized to the league.

 

I’m going to watch - well my hands will be over my eyes, so it will be through my fingers ….

How has it come to this? Surely, that’s the questions the Yanks should be asking Mr Winter - looking from outside, you’d swear he was asleep at the wheel during the Summer: we all knew that Cooper was going. The new Manager should have been appointed far earlier to allow him to have the pre-season to get the players he wants and to get the squad attuned to his way of playing….

 

Oh, the pessimism. Play-off places by Christmas
