Swansea v Huddersfield Sat 15 April 15:00
Tricky one coming up next with Huddersfield our opponents.
The wily Neil Warnock has answered the call and come out of retirement to try and rescue them from relegation, he’s in charge there until the end of the season.
After a stuttering start and without a win in his first five games in charge, they are unbeaten in the following five games, including away wins at promotion chasing Millwall and Watford, and a home win against third placed Middlesbrough. In doing so he’s pulled them out of the bottom three and two points clear at the moment.
The reverse fixture ended up 0-0, Huddersfield were bottom of the table at the time.
Swans are also seeing an upturn in form, three wins and a draw in the last four matches, not least because goalkeeper Fisher has played well after going through a bad spell.

12 Nov when we played Huddersfield up there we were out of a play-off spot only on goal difference, 31 points after 21 games, and that after getting only 4 points from the previous 5 games.

This one is hard to predict boys, both teams in form, hoping for the win but i’m thinking it’ll be a draw.
The sun is shining for a change here in Swansea and it’s ideal football weather, bring it on.

Swansea 1 (Manning 79’) - Huddersfield 0
A late goal settled this tight affair. Huddersfield were strong defensively and gave no quarter. Swans passed the ball to death again and were reluctant to shoot at times. Cabango hit the post with a first half header and the rebound hit Cullen and bounced wide. Manning’s shot for the goal deflected of Hogg but who cares how they go in, you don’t shoot you don’t score.
Another 3 points, that’s 13 from a possible 15 in the last 5 games, 3 clean sheets and only 2 goals conceded, 7 points away from a play-off spot. Too late for catch up though with only 4 games left.
