    Brentford v Swansea

    Tomorrow will be the biggest match in ten years for Swansea City.
    It’s that long since they last won promotion to the PL. The rewards are massive and it’s probably the richest prize in football, with £130 million on offer for the winners.
    Can they do it? Well the Cardiff City biased rag Wales on Line newspaper, purporting to be for the whole of Wales, have headline news on the match and managed to dig up two tv pundits who think Brentford will win! Thanks for the positivity WOL, it’s easy to press the ignore button, we can win without your support.
    Putting that aside there’s plenty of positivity in the Swans camp and they will be confident of putting one over on Brentford’s arrogant head-coach Thomas Frank. Both matches in the League this season ended in draws so a tight match is expected.
    On the injury front, veteran winger Wayne Routledge is out long term with an ACL injury after being stretchered off in the Barnsley game last week. He joins fringe players Oli Cooper and Brandon Cooper who are also out injured and not in contention for this match. Otherwise the rest of the squad are fit and raring to go.
    Come on the Swans, good luck to the boys, we can do this!

    After both clubs appealed to the FA and EFL for more fans to attend the match, the government are allowing an extra 1,000 tickets for each club on top of the 4,000 tickets already sanctioned.
    This is in contrast to the FA Cup Final recently where 21,000 fans were allowed to attend because it was a government ‘test event’, whereas the play-off final is not.

    Brentford the best team on the day as the Swans capitulated early on in the match and found themselves two goals down after 20 mins.
    Woodman conceded a penalty after bringing down Mbuemo, and then a breakaway goal by Marcondes sealed the win.
    Fulton got sent off on 65 mins and it was goodbye Swans.
    Sad end to what had been a good season, and to fail at the final hurdle was heartbreaking.

    Wrong formation, wrong tactics.
    We reverted to a back three after abandoning that formation a dozen games ago because we were conceding too many goals and not scoring any.
    We started with the intention of not conceding early doors like we did in the last play-offs against Brentford. This plan was blown after ten minutes when Woodman had a moment of madness to concede an unnecessary penalty, bringing their player down when there was little danger. The second goal came soon after, with 8 players up for the long throw in leaving us exposed to the counter attack as per what Barnsley did to us over and over last match. We fell in to the same trap again, their strikers were poised for the counter and we were 2-0 down, game over.
