"You have to be worried in that situation. The goal happened so late and that's when you see the fans' emotions. I was worried about the safety of the players but the security around the ground from the Carlisle staff was good, they did a fantastic job. "Lee Trundle, Izzy Iriekpen and Kristian O'Leary were the last three players on the pitch and got a little bit caught with the wave of people. But thankfully everything is fine. What is in our hands is to perform well against Blackpool. That's what we want and if we carry on playing the way we did today then our fans will be very proud of us. "We played well from the first minute and I felt we should have had a bigger advantage in the first half. But Carlisle threw everything at us and it was fantastic credit to the players the way we bounced back to get the winner. "It was a great situation that both teams needed to win and it was box-to-box with some fantastic moves. But I'm really pleased. To perform like that away from home in such a difficult scenario the boys made everyone very proud."

'It's not sour grapes. The lad touched the ball from his chest onto his hand. 'We were fantastic in the second half, and Johann Smith took his goal really well. 'We have performed above expectations this season, and have laid a foundation for next year when we will be looking for promotion.' |
What to read next:
Swansea City : On the cusp in a very good way ! Two players who have come to Swansea City in the last two seasons from London clubs have earned a position on the clubs retained list this weekend. Both are considered exceptional talents by the Swans academy, and their dream remains alive to become full professional players in the first team squad.
Swans confirm who is staying and congratulations Abdulai ! As we stated this morning Swansea City have released their retained list and also confirmed the signing of Joe Allen for another year. The midfielder has been sitting on an offer for some weeks but indicated via a third party to us he would sign.
Swans retained list and Owain Tudur Jones on Paul Watson We understand that the Swans retained list will be announced today or at the latest on Saturday. And of course that includes players that will be released by the club from the academy and first team squad. So, the Swans plans and immediate future regards players coming in will become much clearer. Or at least the areas they need to target.
Swansea City : Where are the Swans today on all their player business ? Bar the Macaulay Langstaff news there has been little of any concrete info in the offing this week. Mind you that alone caused a stir. Between now and the transfer window opening on June 14th, which is the date for the European Championships to start there will be little to speculate on.
Swansea City : The confusing decision making for a whole season It was a pretty poor end to what can only be described as a disappointing football season for Swansea City. The defeat to Millwall yesterday was a display that has frustrated Swansea City supporters all season. A lack of effort, intensity and desire rewarding the home support with yet another home loss.
