This is it. Two sides separated over 46 games by just two points. 4th placed Swansea City face 5th placed Barnsley over two legs.

For the winners over two legs it is a place at Wembley for the play off final on Saturday 29th.

The two sides have met twice already this season and the Swans have been victorious 2-0 on both occasions although it is best not to talk about out only previous play off meeting - the pain from that day still sits strong.

We have over a week to build towards this game and the matchday thread is up and running ready for your views.

That game in Cardiff is still very painful, watching Dickie Bird celebrate was sickening.

I wonder if any fans will be at the Liberty? Shirley they have to if there will be fans allowed in at Oakwell.

If the Welsh government say no then the EFL won’t allow fans at Oakwell as it would be unfair.

Difficult day that one. Then having to wait an hour outside Scum central for the train whilst Barnsley fans celebrated behind police lines made all worse.
So be nice to piss em off.

Are we destined Phil to play the West London bus stop at Wembley? Be nice if they let you back on their site :lol:

Quite confident we'll get passed Barnsley over two legs, especially as the 2nd leg is at home.

Bournemouth to beat Brentford for me also.

Anything can happen in a one off final.

Swans on penalties

Can't understand why so many are getting thier knickers in a twist what Brentford fans opinion of us are?
A team, who have had a couple of half decent seasons in about 50 odd years.

Listen up, they won't get past Bournemouth, I'll stake my Planet Swans reputation on it an all

Somewhere in between Prosser and Jack 123, a solid 6/10 I reckon
