A disappointing return for our U18 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 …
A personal perspective. The match was no contest, as we fielded a very strong line-up with overage first team squad players Kyle Naughton, Liam Walsh, Oli Cooper and Cameron Congreve all starting. Line-up was a fairly adaptable 4-3-3: Evan Watts; Sam Parker, Filip Lissah, Kyle Naughton (s- Maliq Cadogan 62m), Nathan Tjoe-A-On (s- Richard Faakye …
A sound team performance and decent 4-1 result for our U18 against QPR at Landore this morning. Rain was bucketing down beforehand, but the pitch was in good condition and the game was mostly played in bright sunshine. We lined up a familiar 3-4-2-1: Ewan Griffiths (captain); Arthur Parker, Ben Phillips, Iestyn Jones; Cameron Llewellyn …
A nice touch to award Michel Bates the skipper’s role. A regulation win for our U21 this evening at Stade de la Old Road. We played 3-5-2 and were in complete control from start to finish. Ferry never gave in, but the gig was up when their centre half was dismissed on 26 minutes. Ferry …
With 21 goals scored in the last 3 home academy matches, regular observers at Landore can’t really complain about a lack of entertainment! I won’t repeat the detail of the OS report, here are some personal observations:
A thoroughly entertaining 9 goal contest at Landore today – unfortunately 6 goals to the visitors! At half-time we were 3-2 up, but our defence went missing after the interval and Charlton seemed to score at will. Not that our defenders were particularly poor – Jack Fanning, Arthur Parker and U16 graduate Ben Phillips all …
A convincing 2nd half performance gave our U21 a 4-0 win over Hull in the Premier League Cup this evening. It wasn’t easy, Hull fought hard but crumbled after the first goal immediately into the 2nd half. Line-up: 3-5-2 : Ben Hughes; Harry Jones, Filip Lissah (captain) (s – Kai Ludvigsen 80m), Richard Faakeye; Joe …
A thrilling cup victory via penalties over this evening over our near neighbours. It wasn’t plain sailing. We should have been out of sight well before having to go to penalties – although our players came through that challenge with flying colours. The particulars: we played 4-2-3-1 – Evan Watts; Sam Parker, Kai Ludvigsen, Filip …
Not the most stylish of performances, although our young side can take credit for a hardworking 1-0 win earlier today. We started a familiar U18 3-4-2-1: Kit Margetson; Arthur Parker (captain), Ben Phillips, Teo Minchev; Cameron Llewellyn, Harlan Perry, Jacob Cook, Aimar Govea; Thomas Woodward, Yori Griffith; Rohan Davies. We ended the game as a …
A wholly convincing 4-0 victory today in the stadium sun. A little ‘after the Lord Mayor’s show’ after the interval, Hull were blown away by the flurry of first half goals and simply looked to keep possession and avoid conceding a hatful. No need to repeat the detail of the official report: the most interesting …
