Swansea C v Bristol C (FA Cup 3rd Round Replay)

Tue 17 Jan 18:45
Swansea C v Bristol C (FA Cup 3rd Round Replay)
Tonight we take on Bristol City in a replay after drawing 1-1 at Ashton Gate nine days ago. Piroe’s early 15’ goal cancelled out with a Semenyo equaliser on 75’
Bristol had a convincing 4-2 at home to Birmingham on the weekend whilst we won 1-3 at Sunderland.
Advantage Swans, a home game.
Advantage Robins, who will be the fresher team having played a home match on the weekend whilst we travelled over 700 miles to play ours.
Tickets have been slow to sell for this match, with little interest after the bore-fest draw up there, so expect only about 8k to brave the sub-zero temperatures forecast tonight to see this one.

All change tonight as only four retain their places

Swans: Andy Fisher, Joel Latibeaudiere, Nathan Wood, Ben Cabango, Kyle Naughton, Matt Grimes (c), Olivier Ntcham, Luke Cundle, Cameron Congreve, Matt Sorinola, Joel Piroe
Subs: Steven Benda, Ryan Manning, Jay Fulton, Harry Darling, Joe Allen, Liam Cullen, Ollie Cooper, Lincoln McFayden, Joel Cotterill.

We’re out, 1-2 in extra time.
Seven changes was too much.
Could not take our many chances.
Us, 18 shots, 6 on target, only 1 goal, tells the story.
Them, 2 shots on target, 2 goals

More poor defending

Enough chances for two games, snatching at shots and either wide or straight at the goalkeeper.
Bristol sat back and waited for us to make a mistake, very naive play from us.
Quality reinforcements badly needed.
