Bristol City v Swansea City Sunday 12:30
After dominating an out of form Watford at Vicarage Road on Wednesday night first-half, taking the lead, and then missing chances to put the game to bed, second-half it was backs to the wall once again, conceding the equaliser and lucky not to lose.
LW post-match, commenting on the second-half struggle, said:
"If we are not going to be able to play with the same attacking threat, we have to manage the game in a different way and that's something we are learning."
He’s right, statistics show we’ve taken the lead in 21 of our 36 games this season, yet could only go on to win 11 of them. If only we could hold on to a lead we would be at the top end of the table. For example Leeds have taken the lead 25 times in matches this season and gone on to win 23 of them.
Moving on to our next match and it’s Bristol City away this Sunday.
A look at their form:
Bristol City last 6 games WWLLLL F8 A9
Bristol City last 6 home games LDLWLL F4 A6
Last Saturday they lost 0-1 to Cardiff at Ashton Gate.
They gave high- flyers Ipswich a fright last Tuesday at Portman Road though, going ahead twice before conceding the winner in the 89’, going down 3-2.
However, they’ve lost four of their last six games and are another team out of form and around us in the table that we should be looking to get points from if we are to avoid relegation.
They sit a point above us in the table in 14th place on 44 points.
Hopefully we’ll start with the same team that won against Sunderland and Blackburn after Allen, Naughton and Cullen we’re rested against Watford before coming on for the last quarter.
