Bristol C v Swansea C (FA Cup 3rd Round) Sun 8 Jan 12:00
Early kick-off to counteract previous fixtures crowd trouble.
Swans allocation sold out, around 2,700.
I wonder what sort of team we’ll field. With no league fixtures for a week either side of this cup tie, he’ll need to keep the core of his first team fit whilst giving squad players a game. I can see Fisher starting between the sticks instead of Benda and the rest take your pick.
Will non-contributors this season Paterson and Obafemi get game time or be wrapped in cotton wool ready for transfer out? Ntcham has reportedly got itchy feet too and could be on his way.
In this crucial January Transfer Window month so much depends on outgoings to allow fresh faces in to give us impetus for the rest of the season.
To advance to the next round of the FA Cup and beyond gives our fringe players a chance for more game time and some much needed income for the club, so this match should not be taken lightly.
