Something of a turnup for the books – this evening’s FA Youth Cup encounter being abandoned after a lengthy half-time delay. Although extremely chilly, the conditions weren’t appreciably worse than a few other recent games at Landore. Neither was there was any noticeable loss of control of the ball or challenges during the first half. …
A rather strange game for the U21 at a bitterly cold Landore today. 3-0 sounds decisive enough, but the referee’s histrionic performance in the final stages left a sour taste as the match descended into high farce. It was hard to keep up, but match official Corbett surpassed himself by following up Filip Lissah’s harsh …
A battling 4-2 win for our U18s today against a forceful Ipswich side that never gave up. Thomas Woodward clinched the game with his third deep into added time and as Ipswich fought gamely to find an equaliser. We lined up 3-4-2-1: Kit Margetson; Arthur Parker, Iestyn Jones, Jack Fanning (captain); Tom Searle (s – …
High anxiety at the end of a tough Nathaniel MG Cup semi-final here at Landore this evening. The Swans and Cardiff Met couldn’t be separated at 90 minutes. The 0-0 tie went straight to penalties, the Swans triumphing 5-4 when the contest moved to sudden death. A very decent crowd at the academy, with a …
A very competitive 0-0 draw today in the rain at a miserable Landore against league leaders QPR. With a team bolstered by first team squad members or those returning from injury, we lined up 4-5-1, with widemen Ogbeta and McFayden often pushed up alongside lone striker Kukharevych: Nathan Broome; Sam Parker, Nathan Wood (s – …
A well earned 3-1 victory for our U18s in the rain at Landore ahead of this afternoon’s first team game. We fielded 2 of our U16 squad, Brogan Popham making his home debut at this level in the absence of Jack Fanning, who’s ill. Although he didn’t feature in the squad advertised on Twitter, Milo …
We lost 3-0 today to a Cardiff side that played the percentages and took their chances – 4 shots on target and 3 goals tells its own story. Although Ogbeta, Watts and Parker were missing, we still seemed to have a decent starting 3-5-2 line-up at Leckwith: Remy Mitchell; Harry Jones, Filip Lissah, Richard Faakye; …
A reasonably comfortable 4-0 win today for our U21 against a workmanlike Ipswich side. We fielded a strong line-up in a 3-5-2 formation: Remy Mitchell; Joe Thomas, Filip Lissah, Richard Faakye (s – Jack Stafford 85m); Sam Parker, Mitchell Bates, Liam Smith (s – Aimar Govea 85m), Dan Watts (s – Charlie Veevers 85m), Lincoln …
Well, this was another academy game we really should not have lost, but tonight our U21 continued the recent theme of throwing away bright positions by conceding soft goals at key times. Tellingly, that’s the 5th time our U21 have conceded 4 goals already this season. The 4-3 defeat could be put down to a …
A disappointing return for our U18s today, we lost 4-2 at Landore to a limited Millwall team who seemed to be able to score anytime they got a shot on target. We started well, got an early goal after good work by Aimar Govea on the left, couldn’t capitalise on further chances and remarkably found …
