From my perspective, very much a game of two halves today at Landore. 4-0 wouldn’t have flattered us at half-time, it probably did at full-time. We lined up in a familiar and fluid 3-4-2-1 style, with some positional changes for a number of players: Ben Hughes; Harry Jones, Brandon Cooper, Kian Jenkins (Joe Thomas 81m); …
A comfortable enough win and workout for a strong Swans side today at Landore, played in a combination of bright sunshine and heavy showers. We dominated throughout, aside from the final 10 minutes when Millwall resurged and created a number of late chances, amazingly blazing 2 over the bar from point blank range. We lined up …
A well deserved victory in great weather at Landore. We created by far the most chances, but conceded a couple of soft goals. Even so, our goal led a charmed life in the final 10 minutes as Charlton sought an equaliser. An excellent finish from Ben Lloyd – his first touch on coming onto the pitch – …
4-2 sounds like a convincing enough win but, in truth, Exeter got off lightly. We’d already beaten this side 5-1 in an August friendly and today really should have scored far more goals and conceded less. Coach Darren Davies used the opportunity to trial players in different positions. We lined up as 3-4-2-1: Kit Margetson; Arthur …
A great tonic for our U21, against a side that’s given us problems in the recent past. Jon Grey didn’t appear to be there today – perhaps working? Lots of the U18 squad present, plus Tiv Rushesha, Kyle Joseph, Liam Cullen and Ollie Cooper, as well as Russell Martin arriving in the 2nd half. I’ve …
It was an unusual match in all respects. Spectators couldn’t get into the ground via the normal entrance, as there was a kids tournament taking place on the pitches closest to the Liberty and today’s stewards didn’t seem to have any knowhow as to how U18 games are run. As it was, Charlton’s team coach was delayed, …
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 Under-18s were defeated by Coventry City Under-18s in their first Premier League Development home fixture of the season. Kyrell Wilson got the afternoon off to a perfect start as put the home side in front in the 18th minute. However, it was the visitors who kept pushing and came from behind to take …
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 …
Having seen us perform so well at Haverfordwest on Saturday, I was a little disappointed with our showing today – although it has to be said that Bournemouth have some very useful players and played an intelligent game. We persisted far too long with players playing in positions that they are unsuited for and we …
