Five in a row for the Swans but Sheehan still unsure of future

ALAN Sheehan insisted it was “not a given” he would become Swansea City boss on a permanent basis despite leading them to five consecutive Sky Bet Championship victories.

The Swans edged a 2-1 win at QPR on Monday and have now won seven and lost just two of their 11 matches since Sheehan took caretaker charge following the sacking of Luke Williams in February.

It would also have been five clean sheets in a row had Karamoko Dembele not pulled a goal back for the visitors, with the west London side’s first effort on target.

Morgan Fox's 29th-minute own goal put Swansea in front and Harry Darling doubled the lead early in the second half for the Welsh side, who were only six points clear of the drop zone just over a month ago.

They will end the season much closer to the play-off than relegation places as they are currently just six points away from the top six.
