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.

This is typical of us, stroll through a game, go 1-0 up and take our foot off the pedal.
One point, the ref should have used his red card in the first half, and allowed Bristol to get away with it - but still we've royally f***** this game up!! |
but we ve played pretty attacking football |  |

They dropped to 4 at the back and we still kept the same, they started to come at us and we've not coped with it. |
The man has no idea what he’s doing. Quality recruitment but them players are running out from the u17s. |  | | |

I can see which way this is going already on this thread.
When did we sit back exactly? How can Cooper be blamed for our players missing open goals and the ref not sending off their player when he deserved at least 2 yellows. Their winner was direct from a corner ffs. He didn't mean that. The equaliser, they had the luck of the bounce following one individual error.
Horrible but this is one of those days. New manager and luck. Thats it. |  |

Playing attacking football hasn’t cost us this game
Game management has.
Dhanda should have been hooked ages before, obvious. Pearson changed it and Cooper just stood there doing nothing. Score the goal, sit back, as per usual. Luck has ran out this side and manager is in a false position | | | |

Missing chances cost us. Game management (whatever the hell that is) wouldn’t have mattered if we’d gone in three up like we should have. | |

We flattered to deceive in the first half, but benefited from a fortunate penalty. Then that awful negativity we show when we go ahead crept in and we imploded. The players themselves must carry heavy responsibility, but I thought Cooper was too slow to freshen up the midfield. Freddie has to take some blame for the corner kick goal, but did anybody notice the man who blocked his backward movement and then smartly moved over the goal line so it wasn't so obvious? | | | |

Yes, I mentioned "goal mouth packing" at the time. | | | |

or if Grimes hadnt ditheredl and passed back instead of gettingvthe goal forwards.
im off because this is going to be a night of Cooper kicking...moan when we win keeping it tight...go on ansd on about possesion football....we pkay possesion football and lose and still the managervgets stick...we could,should have gone in half time 3 nil up and Bristol down to 10 men....is that Coopers fault
We all have opinions...i wouldnt start with both Grimes and Hourihane...but then Cooper is the pro ... | |

The ref made that decision for Pearson to change to a back 4 by not giving the red card to their wing back, and allowing the substitution.
Cooper took too long with his subs and any change in formation to counter Bristol, but the team on the pitch sat back with No captaincy.
Freddie won't sleep tonight!! [Post edited 27 Feb 2021 17:09]

Cooper not at fault today. Should have ran away with the game first half. Got a bit lucky with the pen but deserved it after the first half if not the start to the 2nd.
The goals were poor individual errors- concerning that we've conceded 7 in a week now, and only scored 3. | | | |
