Danny Haynes is convinced Bristol City team-mate Lewin Nyatanga will bounce back from his sending off against Watford. City's Wales international defender received his marching orders after being shown a second yellow card by referee James Linington in this week's Christmas Bank Holiday fixture at Ashton Gate. And Bristol City manager Gary Johnson described the former Derby player's actions as "unprofessional" after seeing City's 10 men surrender a 2-1 lead in time added on. But Haynes knows exactly how Nyatanga feels after himself being red carded in a Carling Cup game at Brentford earlier this season - and he believes the experience will make the Welshman a stronger person. "Lewin was pretty down after the game and he probably blames himself for what happened," said Haynes, who scored a spectacular opening goal for the Robins."

Wantaway Bristol City striker Lee Trundle has almost certainly played his last game for the club. Out-of-favour at Ashton Gate, the 33-year-old forward has spent the past four months on loan at Coca-Cola Championship rivals Swansea City. Although that deal came to an end following the Swans' goalless draw with Crystal Palace on Monday, the Welsh club are expected to take up an option to keep Trundle until the end of the season. And Swans manager Paulo Sousa today gave the strongest indication yet that the Scouser still features in his plans. The former Portugal star said: "The situation with Lee is done, now it's a question of the two clubs. The chairman will announce something when he can, but I cannot tell you. I only talk when these things are done."
