Coming off the back of last weekend’s 4-1 age grade cup win against the same opponents at Leckwith, today’s victory over our South Wales rivals was deserved and hard earned. On a sunny day wintry at Landore, the line-up was a familiar 4-3-3. Jon Beale, who was previously at the academy before moving off to …
With a number of players back from recent international duties, we fielded an attacking line-up for this Development League Cup tie with Millwall. Carter Heywood, fresh from captaining Wales U17s, came into the back four and there was no Arthur Parker this evening, the feeling being that he might be getting called into the first …
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 …
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 …
