Swansea v Bristol City Sat 21 Feb 12:30
Another early kick-off and this time the opposition are the Cider Army from over the bridge. That match is closely followed by another home game against Preston on the Tuesday, so two tough games in prospect against teams above us in the table.
First of all the Robins of Bristol who convincingly beat us 3-0 up there with Matos watching on from the stands and O’Dea’s disastrous one game in charge before he left and Matos took over two days later. To be fair we were without suspended key defenders Cabango and Tymon, but why were Vipotnik, Widell, Franco, Inoussa and Yalcouye all on the bench?
After the poor showing at Derby last Saturday questions have to be asked as to why we can’t replicate our good home form in away matches. Two goals conceded from corners, our set-piece defending is back to haunt us.
With 72% possession we couldn’t score a goal in 97 minutes of play, with just two shots out of fifteen on target. We actually looked like a Russell Martin team again, passing the ball to death in our own half, I thought those days were behind us.
A couple of wins will get us back on track but we will not be where we all want to be until Matos can eradicate our inherent weaknesses.
