A good learning experience for a very young team today and against a very capable opposition. There was clearly an intent to rest or reduce the potential for injury prior to next Wednesday’s PDL Cup Final at Millwall. No Tom Woodward, Yori Griffith, Cam Llewellyn or Tom Searle. Rohan Davies is still injured. Captain Jack …
An important and well deserved win for Cymru U21s this evening – they beat Lithuania 2-1 in a very watchable encounter at Rodney Parade, Newport. Rubin Colwill was the big difference between the sides. His size and skill makes him a formidable presence at this level. After Cymru conceded a shock opener on 11 minutes, …
A pleasing return to form and goals for our U18s this afternoon in a 5-1 at Landore against Colchester United.Colchester have been on a poor run and often looked quite overwhelmed at times today. It was though a really strong all round performance by our youngsters. Our line-up was quite fluid, but essentially 4-1-4-1: Kit …
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 – …
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 …
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 …
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 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 …
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 …
