Daily news and opinion on all things related to Swansea City football club, from the senior team, Under 21s, Under 18s to the Swansea City Women’s team. Written by Swans fans to keep the Jack Army in the know about what’s happening at the Club.
Swansea City have confirmed the departure of head coach Alan Sheehan following a disappointing start to the Championship season. The 39-year-old Irishman, who was appointed on a permanent basis in April, leaves the club after overseeing just four league wins from the opening 15 matches of the current campaign – the Swans’ lowest return since …
This was a hard-earned victory at Landore against a Charlton Athletic side that was top of the Division 2 South table and unbeaten since August. It was also the U21s first home game since September. We fielded a strong-looking side, set up as 4-2-3-1: Evan Anderson; Sam Parker (s – Ramon Rees-Siso 59m), Arthur …
In the first home game in over a month, our U18s achieved a special victory today against near neighbours Bristol City. The last match here was a comprehensive 4-7 defeat to Bournemouth, so today’s outcome will taste especially sweet. We lined up initially 4-3-3 but varied the formation during the game, particularly when the visitors …
For many Swansea City supporters, the name Ivor Allchurch still brings a sense of pride and admiration. Known as the “Golden Boy of Welsh football”, Ivor is widely regarded as the greatest player ever to wear the Swans shirt, and one of the finest to have represented Wales. Now, his remarkable story is being told …
4-1 sounds like a convincing victory and it probably was in the end, but our U21s didn’t have everything their own way earlier in ths contest. Coach Anthony Wright had the comparative luxury of being able to select players from the fringes of the first team squad in the form of returning Ricardo Santos, plus …
The Swans kicked off this season’s U17s PL cup competition with an encounter with Wolverhampton Wanderers at Landore. With the exception of goalkeeper Jakub Nowak, all of the Swans’ starting XI featured at some stage on the previous Saturday’s U18 match with Wigan Athletic. Coach Joe Roberts selected an interesting set-up. Although it was very …
A very young U18s squad played out a 3-1 defeat to a comparatively more experienced Wigan Athletic team at Landore. Still missing a number of otherwise eligible players through international duties, coach Joe Roberts picked a side that included 4 Under 16 players plus a further 3 among the substitutes. Close season signing centre half …
We’ve been rather spoilt to date with the strength of the U21s playing squad. That all changed in Wednesday’s Nathaniel MG Cup 3rd Round tie with Cymru Premier Haverfordwest. With a number of players absent either on loan or international duty, coach Anthony Wright was reduced the bare bones of a squad that featured players …
Our U21s claimed a convincing 6-0 win in the sun over Huddersfield Town today at the stadium. The game was effectively over by half-time, with the Swans 5 up, totally overwhelming a weak opposition. Huddersfield improved slightly in the second half (in truth, they couldn’t have got any worse) and the prospect of double figures …
I was able to attend only the first half of this morning’s U18s fixture with Hull until leaving for the first team appointment against Watford, so it was pleasing to learn that from being one up at the interval we’d earned a convincing 5-1 win by full-time. In the first half, we played attractively and …
