It’s good to see Keith from Stroud in charge of this game, he hasn’t got that far to drive and can get a lift back on the Bristol City team coach if he parks up on the M4/M5 junction. Lovely kebab van near there too, think about it Keith, it’s definitely an option pal.
Keith from Stroud will probably park up near the kebab van next to the M4/M5 and jump on the Wurzel bus to the Liberty
Stroud last officiated a swans game on December 2nd 2020 when Middlesbrough beat the swans 2-1. He booked Grimes and Dhanda that day because he was scared of Neil Warnock. Steve Cooper didn’t bother him that much, but that was before Andy Woolmer went looking for it. We do have information that Stroud is now a bit concerned about this game because he doesn’t like Cooper either. We think, it might not be true, but if it is then it’s almost certainly correct. Stroud was also the ref for the first leg play off against Brentford last year, that night he went a bit nuts, but recovered well enough to drive home.
Stroud always kisses the ball and has avoided Covid all season by drinking a litre of turpentine before and after each match
Obviously all of us here at Swansea Independent urge you not to drink turpentine, unless you are in Newcastle with Hoddle and Waddle singing their number one classic tune about cleaning paint brushes in the fog.
Matches against Bristol City generally close affairs except the 2005 game which the swans won 7-1. The robins manager, Brian Tinnion, sat on the away bench after the game for three days, he was eventually removed by court order.
Brian Tin Tin Tinnion no relation to Stephen Tin Tin Duffy, but equally as shit
Cardiff City’s main rivals, Bristol City visit the Liberty and will have to drive past Cardiff on the M4 which will of course terrify them, what with this big rivalry between the two clubs that isn’t. This game would have been ear marked for an easy three points a few weeks ago, but much has changed. Nigel Pearson, that throat grabbing box of fun is the newly appointed manager and the Robins as they are known have new orange chests and feathers.
New robins manager Nigel ‘the strangler get a grip on yourself ‘ Pearson
Bristol City are commonly known as the fans who don’t turn up alongside Cardiff who are the fans who make things up, and East Stirlingshire who are in Scotland. Incredibly the dialect in Bristol is known as Wurzel, we had a look at typical sayings in Wurzel Bristol, and they basically were the same as everywhere else, which almost places them in the ‘making things up’ bracket with Cardiff.
They played for both sides
Lee Trundle
Steve Torpey
There are others but I can’t be bothered.
Early team news
Swansea City
Kyle Naughton suffered an injury during the second half against Coventry City. Wayne Routledge is still out as is Liam Cullen. It’s looking like Ryan Bennett won’t make this game either which is a huge blow again for the swans.
The swans ( as we know them ) have won eight of their last eleven league games, drawing two and losing only one. The club by all accounts is in crisis.
Burzle City
The tractor will be somewhat empty as Angela Lansbury is out, as is Alfie Mawson. Weimann is also out and a bloke called O’Dowda. And another bloke called Martin and Dasilva too. Oh, and that Watkins fella.
Bristol City won last time out 3-1 at Middlesbrough. They lost the previous seven matches on the bounce. The last time they won was 2-1 against Huddersfield Town in January, yes them.
Current League Table
More to follow most likely.

Exciting performance so far. Need to turn this dominance into goals though. |  |

I haven't enjoyed watching us this much since... er... I can't remember?
Should be 3 up. They could easily be down to 10. Only concern is that we haven't scored. If we don't win this one we'll all be crying for the return of the turgid one-nillers

We have been excellent.
Look sharp on ball. Need to put one of these chances away though, Bidwell and Cabango’s were complete sitters | | | |

Best I’ve seen us play for weeks. We should be 2 or 3 up.
We have creativity and accuracy today - we have midfielders who can pass. Another factor not to be discounted is that the conditions look perfect. It helps with a passing game. Bristol’s good fortune so far will run out second half. WE must not concede though! |  | | |

Need to keep this up 2nd half, best we've played for what seems like an age, keeper has kept them in it, but I think the ball has been at him though. |  | | |

Bidwell needs shooting for missing his chance.  |  |

Cabango, Lowe, Bidwell and Dhanda could have scored but to their keep has been excellent (if we score it will probably be a squirmy effort).
Referee won’t give us anything though.
The foul he gave against Roberts in their box was a joke.
2 100% penalties, Towler and Palmer should have bee sent off.
A lot of movement from Dhanda but also the only player who’s made a serried of mistakes.
At least it’s really good football from us. |  |

Two real penalty shouts for handball as well. The first one looked nothing at first but the replay showed he moved his elbow out to control it. And the one where the ball was cleared off the line his hand was as far from his body as possible. | |

Great performance, wish I could say the same for the ref, lets hope his inconsistent decision making doesn't cost us. |  |

That's so annoying isn't it. Especially with 5 subs allowed now, there's basically no advantage to us.
Who did we play a few years ago&their player was on a yellow&then took out our winger in front of the East stand (think it was Dyer) and the ref didn't give the 2nd yellow even though it was as clear a yellow as you'll ever see? That player was subbed at ht a few mins later and i think we went onto lose. | |

You’re right, a proper AM and we’d be way ahead. Dhanda just doesn’t cut it in such a pivotal position when we’re so on top. Imagine MGW flying at them.
Pen !
Smith for Dhanda and push CH in the hole | |
