Not a very encouraging performance, particularly given the apparent strength of our starting eleven. We opened promisingly enough – Dhanda and Morgan Whittaker each creating chances for themselves in the first 15 minutes. Then 2 avoidable goals in quick succession – the first on 19 minutes through playing in the wrong places. Possession was lost on …
Pontypridd stepped in at the last minute at Landore tonight when the arrangement with Llanelli fell through. Pontypridd are currently top of Cymru South, the same level as Llanelli and Carmarthen. No teamsheet. Russ Martin and Mark Allen were present. I’m not sure how much they would’ve learned. We had loads of possession, dominated throughout, …
We played a 4-3-3 formation that’s been tried before this season with mixed success. This meant we dominated the middle, but looked very lightweight up front. Cotterill, Congreve and Lloyd are very accomplished at this level and peppered the Cardiff goal with shots in the first half. This masked the fact that most of our moves broke down …
Martin Davies the Swans Academy and Under 23s goalkeeping coach, has announced that he is leaving the club. Local boy Davies, joined as the Swans Head of Academy Goalkeeping in 2017, having previously been at League Two side Cambridge United. Davies made the announcement on his personal twitter account on the weekend. Cambridge United have …
Peterborough got the draw at the last, the very least they deserved after a dominant 2nd half performance against a Swans side that fell away after a decent first half. The Swans had gone ahead after 3 minutes when a Posh defender inexplicably handled a harmless looking cross. Tarrelle Whittaker’s penalty went straight down the …
An entertaining game, but largely due to the performance of the visitors who, as the match progressed, dominated possession and created a host of chances. Fairly uneventful first half. We played 4-3-3 but struggled to get wingers Wilson and Hillier and centre forward Geoff Bony into the game. Our first attempt on goal came almost …
An open and entertaining final friendly for the Under 23 at Landore today, resulting in a 7-2 win. AG Academy is a London-based team designed to give second chances to players who haven’t succeeded at other clubs. Unusually for a friendly, a welcome teamsheet was available today. At 9 for us was the trialist centre …
Those that were there or listening will know we were undone by 2 calamitous errors of judgement for the 2nd & 3rd goals but, in reality, we were soundly dealt with by a streetwise Bath side. We had a purple patch in the 10 minutes before half-time, but there were long periods in the 2nd half …
