We're Not Done Yet
We caved, our love of football could not end while Swansea City are in a race for the playoffs and we're set to cheer them on in their last home match of the season against Blackpool FC on May 5th. The Swans, led by new coach Roberto Martinez, lay outside of the 6th and final playoff spot only on goal difference with two matches remaining. Their next match is away to Carlisle United who themselves are only a point back and keen to make the playoffs as well. League 1 is down to the wire and we're not going to miss it!

***Update***

Carlisle United 1-2 Swansea City
The Swans took another step towards the League 1 playoffs today with a last minute win away to Carlisle. Lee Trundle (pictured above) opened the scoring inside the first minute, and after Carlisle equalized right after halftime the Swans pushed the match into extra time where Darryl Duffy scored the winner. Their main rivals for the 6th and final playoff spot, Oldham, won as well and with one match to go Swansea and Oldham sit even on points. A Swans victory or draw coupled with an Oldham loss would see the Swans through, but a draw by both sides would see Oldham through on a goal difference of 2. If the two teams were to lose, Oldham would have to lose by more than 2 goals compared to the difference in the Swansea loss. At least it's not complicated!
