Steve Lansdown witnesses Bristol City capitulation with some increasingly worrying home truths

Steve Lansdown attended the Swansea.com Stadium and witnessed the side that he owns capitulate in the second-half, conceding three goals having led at 1-0 at half-time.

So, we might have to make changes because people like me lose my job through results. What I’m not having is, I’m not having players who cop-out.”

He went on to say, “We might have to make changes. Maybe we’ve got players in our squad at the moment that have got until now and the end of the season to prove whether they’re good enough to be here next year whether I’m the manager or anybody else.
