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 thoroughly entertaining friendly in thoroughly miserable weather! The meagre crowd had to put up with being fully exposed to the elements – the game was taking place on the open pitch nearest the academy and for which the available cover was unhelpfully roped off. There were wholesale personnel changes made by Swansea at half-time, …
No official report so far as I know, other than snippets on Haverfordwest’s Twitter account, so here’s a quick summary. The Swans team was: Archie Matthews; Filip Lissah, Harry Jones, Ben Blythe (sub Kai Ludvigsen 46m); Abdul Abdulai (sub Tarrelle Whittaker 62m); Joe Thomas (sub trialist 83m), Dan Williams, Joel Cotterill (sub Sam Leverett 62m), …
A demanding and often feisty workout for the U21 against a determined Briton Ferry Llansawel of Cymru South – and in front of a very decent and appreciative crowd at Old Road. We lined up in a familiar style: Remi Mitchell; Kai Ludvigsen, Fillip Lissah and Ben Blythe as a back 3; Azeem Abdulai pulling …
An entertaining game for a very young U21 squad on a sweltering day at Landore. No teamsheet. Stevenage turned up in a variety of different shirts, mostly unnumbered. They must have been amazed to score 2 goals, essentially due to inexplicable generosity on our part. Kris O’Leary walked in after the start, presumably fresh from the Bristol …
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 …
A tough and competitive game in very unkind circumstances – it was harsh enough having to sit in the stand being blown about the place, the effect on the players and their judgement of passes was notable. In spite of fielding 5 trialists, Hull were a very decent side and on another day might have got …
An entertaining game, one that we mostly dominated but paid the price by not killing the match off well before the visitors unexpectedly got back in. Recognisable but fluid U23 setup: 3-1-5-1. Hansen in goal; middle trio of Ludvigsen, Rushesha, Stafford; Abudalai the deepest midfielder, with 2 advanced wingbacks Joe Thomas and Lincoln McFayden; Yan Dhanda …
A very pleasing and entertaining game on home turf. We won 5-1 but could have had double figures, such was our dominance. Back 3 of Cameron Evans, Tiv Rushesha and recent recruit Jack Stafford; wingbacks Ogbeta on the left, Lincoln McFayden on the right; middle grouping of Azeem Abdulai in front of the back 3 …
The Swans suffered a torrid evening against Championship leaders Fulham at the Swansea dot com stadium last night, with the game effectively over as a contest after Ryan Manning’s sending off just minutes before half-time. The Irishman was shown a straight red card by Australian official Jarred Gillett for his challenge on Harry Wilson, which …
Mixed feelings from this game: we started slowly, conceded early and sloppily and looked as though we’d be overwhelmed, despite fielding the majority of the team that has performed so well in recent weeks. The set-up was familiar: 3 central defenders, 2 full backs with licence to roam, a middle pair and a front pair …
