| Swansea City v Bristol City : Match day thread on 09:15 - Feb 22 by JJBomber | Neither Bristol team has ever been in the top flight. Given the size of the city it's quite a surprise really. |
I'm sure they were in the old first division around the time we were, but memory fades with time. |  | |  |

Good battling performance against a good footballing team. If we had 2 decent wide players from the start of the season, and the way VM has turned us around, we could have easily picked up the 6 points difference to sixth place, that Hollywood now sit in. There was one moment in the 2nd half that summed up Ronald. He was one to one against their big lump No5, couldn’t beat him, then kicked it out of play on the byline. |  | |  |

Was that when he was holding the ball up waiting for someone to get in the box because nobody was there, it happened more than once. |  | |  |

It was when he took the ball to the byline and just hit a brick wall and the ball went out for a goal kick. If I didn’t want him to do well I would have laughed until I croaked. He just doesn’t have what it takes and it hurts me to say it. But he has a reputation that somehow he has built. The number of players on him when he came on probably gave him more respect than he deserved and the commentator on Sky was saying how great it is to have a player like Ronald to come on later in a game. I don’t see it myself. |  |

If Bristol was a one club city they'd have the potential to be a serious power. |  |

Yet opposition teams double up on Ronald because they need too, pundits rate him and they probably watch all the players in the league and Matos thinks highly of him, they walked over to the East Stand after the final whistle with their arms round each other chatting and smiling. Matos pushed Ronald forward to receive the applause from the crowd. I'll just leave that there to ponder. |  | |  |

Yes, it’s strange isn’t it. I don’t understand it but maybe the Matos actions are down to giving him confidence. I don’t think anyone can argue that as an attacking winger, he flatters to deceive. The proof is in the pudding as they say. |  |

I think everyone can have different opinions and they can change over time. Last season I thought Vipotnik was useless now obviously that has changed. Currently I can't see what all the hype with Yalcouye is about, but if the flashes of excellent play are much more frequent I will probably change my opinion about him. I rated Key highly the first two seasons now he is not worth a place. Opinions can go down as well as up. |  | |  |
| Swansea City v Bristol City : Match day thread on 12:11 - Feb 22 with 783 views | howenjack | Thought Vip should have taken better care of the ball when holding it up and laying it off to others yesterday . Hes a wonderful asset to have in attack but he needs to take better care of the ball and not give it away cheaply.His link up play yesterday especially the short passes could /should have been more accurate. |  | |  |

They were in the old first division late 70s I think Norman Hunter and all them playing for them.. |  | |  |

| Swansea City v Bristol City : Match day thread on 13:34 - Feb 22 with 659 views | swancity | Really enjoyed this win. Slightly fortunate in the sense that Bristol had more chances and possession as well as territory but on a difficult surface where sometimes the ball was skidding nicely and other times slowing down it wasn’t easy to judge the weight of pass. The superb defensive effort must be applauded. Cabango and Burgess were outstanding against difficult opponents who probably deserved a point ( at least tbh ). Matos has been an inspired choice. I love his enthusiasm his personality and character which all help to instill a feel good factor and positive atmosphere around the Club. He’s a likeable guy too and I’m enjoying going to games again. That was just my ninth game this season but things are looking up again it seems. Regarding our squad, it seems stronger with better options off the bench now. Lots of competition throughout the team except possibly at centre back . Yalcouye was superb yesterday and Walta looks good. If we can beat Preston then keep it quiet who knows …. |  |

I’d say the main reason he gets picked, is for his covering back, which fair doos to him is good. But for taking a man on, I’m sorry he’s crap, as is most of his crossing. Matos has obviously had a word in his shell like for his diving, which most referees have sussed anyway. I totally respect anyone’s views on individual footballers, and for that matter football in general. These new owners have been a breath of fresh air, and are aiming high, that in my opinion doesn’t involve Ronald as a starter, impact sub at best. |  | |  |

I will add, his attitude to the team has never been an issue |  |

Thats very fair. I think if we get a good right back in Ronalds role will be required less and we may be able to play with an outright attacking winger. I think Galbraith will remain at RB until he leaves in the summer so we will be in the status quo until then, unless Nunes shows the quality to be a regular starter. Incidentally with Nunes being subbed just after halftime, does anyone think that he was given specific instructions at the break and didn't follow them, prompting Ronald to come on who did. |  | |  |

There were probably quite a few teams in and around the old first division that we have all forgotten that they were there. |  | |  |

Cut in from the left onto his right foot as usual and bang. He did that almost every time so I don't know why they couldn't touch him. Class I suppose. |  | |  |
