Middlesbrough v Swansea Sat 6 April 15:00
After the humbling Easter matches, where we gained one point from six against teams below us in the table, questions need to be asked about the tactics of the coach and the commitment of the players. Against Sheff Wed we played walking football in a lethargic performance. Against QPR we had no idea how to break them down, continually pumping crosses into the box to our diminutive striker which their huge goalkeeper easily gathered.

Next match is away to Middlesbrough, not an easy place to go when you’re needing points to ensure safety. Luke Williams said we are too good to go down, the same thing was said when we got relegated from the PL. Luckily there are a few teams below us on a disastrous run such as Plymouth, Huddersfield and Rotherham. I am saying we need to pull our finger out and show more fight in matches, sort out our weak defending at set-pieces, and a Plan B when A is not working, over to you coaching team.

Back to the Middlesbrough match and we meet a team who are third in the form table based on the last 6 matches, W4 D2 L0 F9 A2.

A very tough fixture and we’ll do well to get anything there.

Hope springs eternal though and I’d take the draw now.
