There are different players who have been important in the season at different times and that&rsquo;s great.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We have had players pull us out of different situations when we&rsquo;ve needed them to and that&rsquo;s a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We could not have come this far without a great belief in the squad and we will use that in the final games,&rdquo; said de Vries.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve done an okay job, it could be a lot better but we look ahead.

After every game we play there are less points available.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We are closing in on the finish line.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We need to keep both feet on the ground and the way this team is set up doesn&rsquo;t allow people to get carried away.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We know that what we are fighting for could change many people&rsquo;s lives.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We know we can write&nbsp;history&nbsp;for Swansea.
