Swansea City News, Match Reports & Academy
Read all the latest Swansea City match reports, from first-team fixtures to Academy games – every game, covered in full.
A nice touch to award Michel Bates the skipper’s role. A regulation win for our U21 this evening at Stade de la Old Road. We played 3-5-2 and were in complete control from start to finish. Ferry never gave in, but the gig was up when their centre half was dismissed on 26 minutes. Ferry …
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 thoroughly entertaining 9 goal contest at Landore today – unfortunately 6 goals to the visitors! At half-time we were 3-2 up, but our defence went missing after the interval and Charlton seemed to score at will. Not that our defenders were particularly poor – Jack Fanning, Arthur Parker and U16 graduate Ben Phillips all …
A convincing 2nd half performance gave our U21 a 4-0 win over Hull in the Premier League Cup this evening. It wasn’t easy, Hull fought hard but crumbled after the first goal immediately into the 2nd half. Line-up: 3-5-2 : Ben Hughes; Harry Jones, Filip Lissah (captain) (s – Kai Ludvigsen 80m), Richard Faakeye; Joe …
A thrilling cup victory via penalties over this evening over our near neighbours. It wasn’t plain sailing. We should have been out of sight well before having to go to penalties – although our players came through that challenge with flying colours. The particulars: we played 4-2-3-1 – Evan Watts; Sam Parker, Kai Ludvigsen, Filip …
Not the most stylish of performances, although our young side can take credit for a hardworking 1-0 win earlier today. We started a familiar U18 3-4-2-1: Kit Margetson; Arthur Parker (captain), Ben Phillips, Teo Minchev; Cameron Llewellyn, Harlan Perry, Jacob Cook, Aimar Govea; Thomas Woodward, Yori Griffith; Rohan Davies. We ended the game as a …
A wholly convincing 4-0 victory today in the stadium sun. A little ‘after the Lord Mayor’s show’ after the interval, Hull were blown away by the flurry of first half goals and simply looked to keep possession and avoid conceding a hatful. No need to repeat the detail of the official report: the most interesting …
An entertaining 4-2 PDL Cup win at Landore today against our rivals Cardiff City. There may be times this season when our U18 won’t be able to score enough to offset the number of goals they insist on chucking into their own net, but today was satisfying. Team formation was 3-4-2-1: Kit Margetson; Arthur Parker, …
A 3-1 defeat today for our U18 sounds a convincing loss. Sheffield Wednesday deserved their victory overall, but our team shouldn’t be disheartened. This is a very young U18 side this season. We’ve lost a number of last season’s key players, rightly promoted upwards, we were missing a couple more through injury (notably Yori Griffith) …
A commanding performance, not wholly fluent to begin with, but we completely dominated the final 3rd of the game and should have scored a hatful of goals. As it was, Crewe were fortunate to get away with conceding just the 4 and somehow managed to get themselves a consolation in the dying seconds to go …
