Swansea v Bristol City Sun 29 Sept 15:00
The question on everybody’s lips is can we continue with the drive, the endeavour and the will to win shown by the players in the last two games. Certainly we have the building blocks of doing something this season.
The defence particularly has shown the way with only four goals conceded in six games, one an own goal, one a penalty. The downside is that our two centre-backs are out of contract the end of this season and seemingly are not impressed with the new contracts on offer. Unfortunately they are able to talk to other clubs in January.
The owners latest policy of lowering the players wage bill and other Championship clubs with much bigger budgets than ours hovering, the prospect of keeping them doesn’t look too good at the moment.
Back to the next match and it’s Bristol City at home on Sunday. They did the double over us last season so an extra incentive to win this one.
Liam Manning is their head-coach and last time out they beat newcomers Oxford with a late penalty for their second win of the season.
They splashed £10m on three players this summer with one outgoing player £5m.
May the best team win, Swansea of course.
