Swansea v Hull, Fri 18 April 15:00
Just four games left of this season of turmoil on and off the field.
Finally we’ve got a coach that’s getting us results with a massive turnaround in form and we need to sign him up before he gets poached by another club.
We come into this match off the back of three straight wins, the last one a shock win at high flyers Sunderland, who were already assured of a playoff place. It was sweet revenge for the 2-3 defeat last Dec 14 in the reverse fixture after we were 2-0 up, two late goals clinching the win for Sunderland. Williams was critical of the team afterwards “Miles off the level. Miles off the top six level. We're not even close. That's very obvious after watching that”.
Back to Hull who play better away (W7 D4 L10 F19 A24) than at home (W4 D7 L9 F21 A25) which has put them in a precarious position just two points of the dreaded drop. Ironically we lost the reverse fixture at Hull 2-1 on Dec 21 to a late Burstow goal. It will be a tough match against a team fighting for survival in the Championship but there is a newly found resilience within our team under Sheehan.
We look forward to this game that kicks off the Easter holiday fixtures, with another game on Easter Monday at QPR. It’s traditionally a time of unpredictable results, and we hope for a bumper crowd to cheer the lads on to victory this Good Friday.
