Paulo Sousa insists everyone can feel proud even if they don't reach the play offs next weekend

The Swansea City manager could only stand and watch as his team fell out of the top six for the first time in almost six months on Saturday and now knows that their destiny is out of their hands for the first time this year.

But he insists that the team have every right to feel proud even if they can't quite cross the line next Sunday.

He told BBC Sport "Everyone needs to stand up and feel proud for their performances all season

"We hope for a bad result from Blackpool

"And Bristol City are a good side with quality players. They have a new manager and players will want to impress him.

Everything that has been done has been an amazing job this season.

"For that we need to keep working and believing in our qualities and principles with the same enthusiasm and with the same pleasure to play football and take that into our next game against Doncaster."
