Huddersfield v Swansea
Huddersfield v Swansea Sat 20 April 15:00
In our penultimate away game of the season we travel to West Yorkshire in the foothills of the Pennines to meet struggling Huddersfield.
It will be a tough fixture as they are deep in trouble in the third relegation spot, a point adrift of Birmingham with 3 games left and will fight like mad to get the points.
The reverse fixture on 2 Dec was a 1-1 draw with 78% possession. Cabango scored a 3’ own goal in Huddersfield’s first attack of the game, Patino equalised in the 94’ to salvage the draw. Since then head coach Darren Moore has departed and Andre Breiternreiter has taken over with two wins from his ten games in charge.
Inconsistent Swans meanwhile are all but mathematically safe from relegation. Let’s hope they are not already on the beach for this one and the real Swansea turn up.

Huddersfield 0 - Swansea 4 (Lowe 73’, Ronald 85’,Yates 91’, Walsh 93’)
Jamal Lowe changed the game on 65’ when he came on. A great solo effort for the goal on 73’, then it was see-saw, end to end football with Swans coming out on top and not conceding.

Three wins in a row and three clean-sheets, today’s win being the most emphatic.

Can we finish the season unbeaten. A tough one next week at Carrow Road, the long trip to play-off contenders Norwich before finishing off the season at home to Millwall.

Tough on Huddersfield, if they’d taken their chances there may have been a different outcome. That chance when Ward hit the post and rolled along the goal line and away was one.
Can we keep Lowe, he’s such a game changer when he comes on. Out of contract in the summer, can we pay his high wages though.
Anyway excellent win in the end and Yates scores at last, happy weekend.
