A few minor gripes, but overall a great treat at Landore this evening. It seems our soft underbelly runs throughout our teams – we utterly dominated the game today, but gifted Cardiff 2 goals in short order. It would’ve been a travesty to have lost this match. We lined up 4-3-3: Ben Hughes; Joe Thomas, Kai Ludvigsen, Azeem …
A really impressive 2nd half performance from our U18. We weren’t really at the races before the interval: the formation seemed right enough, but players are being played in positions that challenge them and it seems every mistake is punished. Some tweaks by coach Darren Davies before half-time and after the interval were not the sole reason …
A short report of today’s U18s match. I stayed for 65 minutes before making my way across to the funfest due to unfold at the main stadium. It may be that we were missing players, the starting formation and selection was a little novel – essentially 3-4-1-2 as follows: Kit Margetson; Sam Parker, Jada Mawongo, Arthur …
Today’s game was screened live on the Charlton website. We went down 1-0 – quite disappointing given that Charlton missed a glut of chances and all it would’ve taken was a single slice of ambition or luck for us to have snatched what would admittedly have been a totally undeserved point. I’m afraid we betrayed …
Entertaining fare from our U21 on a sunny Bank Holiday Monday. Wigan played their part and there was a period in the 2nd half where they created plenty of chances of their own. The penalty save at 2-0 was crucial. Although he isn’t a big player, visiting centre forward Stones had given the Swans central defenders …
Swansea City Under-18s were defeated by Coventry City Under-18s in their first Premier League Development home fixture of the season. Kyrell Wilson got the afternoon off to a perfect start as put the home side in front in the 18th minute. However, it was the visitors who kept pushing and came from behind to take …
The Official Site match report is accurate enough in terms of key events in today’s 1-2 defeat. Also worth mentioning: How well our young side coped when down to 10 men for the last 20+ minutes. It was a real insight to watch and listen to Darren Davies coaching and coaxing his team through the rest …
Mixed feelings from this game: we started slowly, conceded early and sloppily and looked as though we’d be overwhelmed, despite fielding the majority of the team that has performed so well in recent weeks. The set-up was familiar: 3 central defenders, 2 full backs with licence to roam, a middle pair and a front pair …
Our U21 (or mostly our U18 representing our U21) went down to a 4-0 defeat to visiting Stoke City in today’s Premier League Cup tie at Landore. We started brightly enough, before Stoke gradually took control, scoring initially through a 21t minute penalty from centre forward Nathan Lowe. Lowe got a 2nd on 45 minutes after …
Great result for the U18 and with what was a very young side. The formation and shape was excellent and fluid – initially Mawongo, Ludvigsen and Dabrowski in the middle with Lissah and a deep lying Hillier either side, a powerful midfield of skipper Josh Edwards and Josh Carey, with Kyell Wilson further forward supporting …
