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 …
4-0 sounds like a thoroughly convincing victory, but our U18s didn’t have things all their own way this morning at Landore. Opponents Fleetwood gave as good as they got during a competitive 1st half and only succumbed only through a flurry of 2nd half goals and a dismissal, which took the wind out of their sails. There …
A win’s a win and we keep our excellent U21s record at the stadium going. Our U21s clinched a 3-2 victory over Crewe on a warm evening. We didn’t look entirely convincing over the entire match, though. On the face of it, our initial match line-up looked imbalanced: 3 widemen – 4 if you …
A comfortable 5-0 win for our U21s in this Nathaniel MG Cup 2nd round tie against Afan Lido, held at Goytre United’s picturesque Glenhafod Park due to Lido’s own ground undergoing necessary improvement work. We started 3-4-3 and rotated to 4-3-3 after half-time, maintaining this shape for the rest of the game. Both styles worked well. …
No goals, but plenty to be pleased with for our young U21s squad this evening at Llanelli’s Stebonheath Park. No teamsheet and no team announcements. A reported crowd of 631 were present. Although the substitutions were arranged in 2 bursts, we essentially fielded 2 sides during the course of the night. On show for the …
