Hull v Swansea Sat 29 April 15:00
Big question is can we keep the unbeaten run going until the end of the season, seven matches undefeated to date, including 5 clean sheets.
Two matches to go, first up are far distant Hull at the MKM Stadium in the East Riding of Yorkshire, a 570 mile, 11 hour round trip from Swansea.
Hull’s third manager this season is ex-player Liam Rosenior, with 8 wins and 12 draws in his 26 games in charge since last November.
Hull’s home record is W9 D5 L8 after beating Watford 1-0 last Saturday. They sit at 15th in the table on 56 points, 6 points behind the Swans, who are in 12th place.
Between 12th place and 6th place (last play-off position) are 5 teams and only 3 points separating them.
It would take a minor miracle for the Swans to grab that final play-off place as two teams have a game in hand. It’s not impossible, but how they must regret dropping all those points in that bad run we had mid-season.
Swans: Andy Fisher, Joel Latibeaudiere, Nathan Wood, Ben Cabango, Ryan Manning, Matt Grimes (c), Olivier Ntcham, Luke Cundle, Jamie Paterson Liam Cullen, Joel Piroe
Subs: Andreas Sondergaard, Harry Darling, Morgan Whittaker, Kyle Naughton, Matty Sorinola, Ollie Cooper, Cameron Congreve
Unbeaten run intact, play-off dream over for another season.
A game of few chances:
Hull on target 1 - Swans in target 2
FT Hull 1 (Cabango 3’ og) - Swans 1 (Cundle 38’)
Hull nothing to play for but pride - Swans everything to play for but out of sorts today, stray passes almost cost us a few times.
Nobody up front to take advantage of what little attacking play we had, Hull defence dominant in the air - stalemate.
Not enough urgency at the end, we had to go for it and we didn’t. We should have treated it like a cup final.

Unlucky boys, sad we couldn’t get the win to keep our season alive, we came up against a tough defence.
West Brom beat Norwich 2-1 today and are still in the race, we play them a week on Monday.
It’s the final match of the season and at home, should be a good game.
