    You feel that in these periods of the game, Swansea will concede. Swansea have good spells going forward and you're just not not sure what's going to happen.

    What is worrying is that they don't deal with the poor spells during the game.

    Double chance for the Swans!

    Harry Darling's header is saved and then Max O'Leary also blocks the follow-up effort from Liam Walsh.

    Good goalkeeping.

    Swansea are doing alright but Bristol City will be delighted with this opening 20 minutes because I think the message in the changing room was to 'stay in the game for 20 minutes and play a bit of football' and if it remains scoreless after 20 minutes then the crowd will turn against the home side.

    Alex Scott's dangerous cross is cleared.

    The Robins suddenly ramping up the pressure.

    Mark Sykes fires in a cross that evades everyone and then sees an effort saved by Andy Fisher.

    First flashes from Nigel Pearson's side.

    A bit of a shocking cross there from Ryan Manning, but it was a nice build-up.

    Joel Piroe and Liam Cullen were in there but I would've liked to have seen a third player just to make up the numbers.

    Swansea work the ball well, but Ryan Manning overhits his cross so much it's on the way to Port Talbot.

    That's two dangerous balls into the danger area by Alex Scott. Two disappointing efforts from him. Swansea will be delighted.

  10. 'Bristol have a lot more physical players in midfield'published at 16 mins

    In midfield you look around at the stature of the players, there's a lot more physical players in the Bristol City side than in the Swansea team.

  11. Swansea boss the ball - againpublished at 15 mins

    Swansea are dominating possession - but that has been the case in their three previous meetings with Bristol City this season.

    The Welsh side have not won any of those.

    Russell Martin will be pleased with his side's energy and purpose - but then Nigel Pearson is probably happy enough, too.

    Alex Scott's freekick doesn't beat the wall.

    Ryan Manning literally throws the ball away and Matt Grimes is forced into a rash foul.

    Swansea present Bristol City with a dangerous freekick.

    Madness.

    Ryan Manning's shot from distance is blocked.

    Good movement from the Swans.

    Swansea, almost 90% possession, but just the one chance.

    Very much sums up some of their recent issues.

    A forward pass? I've been watching Antonio Conte's Spurs a lot this season. I'm unfamiliar with that expression.

    If the forward pass is possible early in the play, they must play that pass. Take the risk, because that's when you catch defenders off-guard.

    That's what the Swansea supporters want to see.

    Swansea try and send Liam Cullen clear, but he's offside and can't get the ball under control anyway.

    Really bright stuff from the hosts.

    I'd like to see Swansea get the ball in very early into the penalty box or commit a defender.

    A bright start for the hosts.

    Both sets of fans are in good voice.
