A very competitive 0-0 draw today in the rain at a miserable Landore against league leaders QPR. With a team bolstered by first team squad members or those returning from injury, we lined up 4-5-1, with widemen Ogbeta and McFayden often pushed up alongside lone striker Kukharevych: Nathan Broome; Sam Parker, Nathan Wood (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 competitive, sometimes feisty 2-2 draw with Cardiff City U21 this evening. We led until conceding a minute into added time to a fierce shot from Romaine Sawyers after a sequence of late corners that we couldn’t deal with. A fair result overall. We fielded another imbalanced side, this time reverting to 3-5-2: Evan Watts; …
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 …
Swansea City Ladies continued their pre-season preparations with a goalless draw at Portsmouth Women on Sunday afternoon. The Ladies travelled to Westleigh Park to face FA Women’s National League South side Portsmouth looking to build on their 1-0 win over Exeter City Women at Llandarcy last weekend. In very hot conditions, both sides limited each …
The Official Site match report is accurate enough in terms of key events in today’s 1-2 defeat. Also worth mentioning: How well our young side coped when down to 10 men for the last 20+ minutes. It was a real insight to watch and listen to Darren Davies coaching and coaxing his team through the rest …
