LIVE FROM THE LIBERTY STADIUM
SWANSEA CITY v BARNSLEY
After a nightmare start to the season, Reds boss Mark Robins had worked miracles to secure Championship football again with three matches to spare. Barnsley went into the game at the Liberty Stadium safe for another season yet reflecting on what might have been after flirting with the top six throughout the second half of the campaign. All that was left to do was play out the season is style, kicking off with a sun-drenched encounter with Swansea, who had the weight of a stuttering play off push laying heavy on their shoulders.
Reds boss Robins made changes to the side that drew with Derby County last time out as Darren Moore, Martin Devaney, Iain Hume and Andy Gray returned to the starting eleven. Out went Bobby Hassell, Filipe Teixeira, Daniel Bogdanovic and Jon Macken. Youngsters Reuben Noble-Lazarus and Jamil Adam were named on the bench.
SWANSEA CITY: de Vries, Williams, Britton, Pratley, van der Gun, Monk, Bessone, Serran, Gower, Kuqi, Cotterill.
Subs: Cornell, Orlandi, Pintado, Trundle, Allen, Butler, Edgar.
BARNSLEY: Steele, Shotton, Foster, Moore, Potter, Devaney, Colace, Doyle, Hammill, Hume, Gray.
Subs: Preece, Macken, Butterfield, Noble-Lazarus, Adam, Thompson, Hassell.
