Alan Sheehan, Swans interim player coach has focus on as many points as possible over the next five games. "You can never be complacent, and that is not a word I would associate with this group of players. Now we have to dust ourselves down after what was a really positive night for the club, and one where I felt a lot of pride at how the team played. Now it’s about getting to the next level. We have got past the 50-point mark, I think we moved up another place. But that challenge is always there, to finish as high as you can and to get the best points tally you can.

UPDATE ⚽️ Changes today, minimum of one.
