We will be a good team next year when we have a full squad again. Luckily the injuries hit after we assured our safety!

Yep...........roll on nest season.  I can see a few of today's team either sitting on the bench or not making the squad

[Lordofthebling]

This ongoing long ball to cornick needs to change

 

[cityexile]

Not been that much in it, other than a soft goal to concede. Neither side looks like they will create much, so hoping for another 1-1.

Thank god we’re safe

Are we actually mathematically safe though?

Lots of possession and great movement from Swansea, but only one goal and we're still very much in the game.

Better quality needed in the final third. Defending pretty well, apart from the one lapse.

Here's the BBC stats.

Oh yay, Downsy....

Bring on Mehmeti, bit of creativity

Especially when he's incapable of doing anything with a ball! Worse player than Bas Savage. Whoever scouted him, needs their P45 and quick.

[ashton_fan]

We have plenty of attacking options on the bench, I'm sure we'll go for it second half, mustn't concede a second though

[Pound Lane Red]

watching that, was almost as frustrating as getting through all the pop up adverts. 

[grifty]

Can't see what our game plan is.

Looks to me like it's pass it backwards to O'Leary in the hope one of his long balls to Bell or Cornick stays on the pitch and hope to pick up the drop downs.

Terrible.

[GrahamC]

Don’t usually listen to Radio Bristol but can someone tell the commentator that Mark Sykes plays for the Republic not Northern Ireland as he said & describing him as a “Northern Irishman” whilst technically correct, probably isn’t right as a result.

Really short of options with James & Naismith still out but the forward goal drought is a worry.

Would expect the obvious 3 subs (Weimann, Mehmeti & Wells) on before too long.

Pretty poor so far, very soft and we don't look that great going forward. 

Agreed, we look very passive.

Cornick has two centre backs on him, Bell isolated and not in the game.

Vyner far too casual that half and lumping it when a pass is on.

Swansea have had a very comfortable first half - hope we can show a bit more fight in the second half.

 

[italian dave]

Two positives.

We’re not as bad as we were first half at Luton.

OTC. Looks comfortable, and finds a City player with most of his passes, which is something few others manage! 

[miketh2nd]

I would say you can tell we have injuries , don't know why weiman was replaced today . I think Scott is playing to high up the field at times so its more like 4 2 4 and I don't think TC has done too bad but we would be a lot stronger with Scott alongside either of TC or King. 

Weiman,Mehmeti and Wells will be on if things don't change if king bell and cornick don't get more involved.

So pay for robins tv, out of the country and end up having to find a free stream as robins tv unwatchable, why do I bother giving them my money

I’m picture perfect here in a particularly Spanish part of the UK. It’s just the commentary that’s crap. 

[Sir Geoff]

Personally would bring King off and swap Weimann and Scott. Scott would be more effective in this game a bit deeper imo.

No, but Reading, Huddersfield having point deductions plus the difficulty of the bottom 3 fixtures

nothing against Anis, but this isnt the type of game he will affect much. Weimann for King and Scott deeper would be better, our chances will come when we win the ball high up. 

You beat me to it haha

See what you mean and today for some reason the audio stream is not working and it's suppose to be. It's only by luck I tried the Radio Bristol live feed and it's working,  when for contract reasons it's not suppose to be.  Very strange, does anyone know why this is happening? I'm not complaining, as I least I can hear the commentary, but it's not what it's suppose to be!

Ball struck Ntcham's back, taking the ball away from Sykes as he looked to challenge.

An excellent ball from Liam Walsh, though.

Edited, as LW seems to be becoming more and more influential - more like the player we thought we were getting.

Cornick is not an out ball.... His hold up play is poor as is his passing. I've yet to see him actually get involved in any game so far.

Cornick has two defenders on him, I'd say its a bit brain dead to pump crap long balls up to him.

He's a very clever player learning how to play the way City want him to play after about 8 years at Luton.

As for the Savage and P45 comment 

[Curr Avon]

Weimann on for Tanner.

[BCFC Rich]

I always feel like King doesn't show his experience. He always seems like a slightly nervous youngster making one of his first appearances. He doesn't play badly and is technically fine, just would really like him to take a bit more control and organise more around him. 

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

Durden say's that Swansea has lead in their last 5 games and haven't won any of them.

Just now, Percy Pig said:

Tanner hooked again. Can't argue, he's been pretty poor.

Probably still not great after his illness.

[Curr Avon]

Swansea are pretty cavalier playing out from the back. Lets hope we can nick a goal.
