Our U21 (or mostly our U18 representing our U21) went down to a 4-0 defeat to visiting Stoke City in today’s Premier League Cup tie at Landore. We started brightly enough, before Stoke gradually took control, scoring initially through a 21t minute penalty from centre forward Nathan Lowe. Lowe got a 2nd on 45 minutes after …
2-1 sounds closer than it was – we really should have been out of sight in the 2nd half. The players should be rightly proud of their display today. A few isolated self-inflicted errors aside, this was a powerful performance and a credit to the team. We played a distinct 3-4-3 when in possession and …
Swansea City fell to a second defeat in four days last night as Luton Town grabbed all three points thanks to Harry Cornick’s 72nd minute winner on a disappointing night at the Swansea dot com stadium. The defeat means the Swans are now 19th in the Championship table and just 12 points off the relegation …
The Swans lined up with Southend trialist Harry Seaden in goal; a middle three of Cam Evans, Tiv Rushesha and skipper Ben Erickson; wingbacks Joe Thomas and Lincoln McFayden; a deep lying Azeem Abdulai with Sam Leverett, Ben Lloyd and Cameron Congreve supporting Forrester in the lone striker role. Swans conceded on 15 minutes – …
Great result for the U18 and with what was a very young side. The formation and shape was excellent and fluid – initially Mawongo, Ludvigsen and Dabrowski in the middle with Lissah and a deep lying Hillier either side, a powerful midfield of skipper Josh Edwards and Josh Carey, with Kyell Wilson further forward supporting …
No need to repeat too much of the facts of the game – there’s even a blog on it by West Ham with a promise of a video to follow. We were pretty decent most of the match. Played a fluid 3-4-2-1 formation: Erickson right side, Brandon Cooper middle, Margetson left side of defence; Harry Jones …
A decent game today at Ice Station Zebra, but one in which our standard shortcomings were all on show: lots of possession; no real cutting edge; inexplicable errors at key times putting the team behind; lots of resilience and fortitude; a moment when we could have got back on terms; another goal for the opposition …
Anyone looking at the Championship table before the start of the Swans win at Barnsley last night, would have probably thought an easy three points was on its way back to south Wales. The reality was however that it took the Swans until the 74th minute to open the scoring, after substitutes Ryan Manning and …
Not a very encouraging performance, particularly given the apparent strength of our starting eleven. We opened promisingly enough – Dhanda and Morgan Whittaker each creating chances for themselves in the first 15 minutes. Then 2 avoidable goals in quick succession – the first on 19 minutes through playing in the wrong places. Possession was lost on …
Pontypridd stepped in at the last minute at Landore tonight when the arrangement with Llanelli fell through. Pontypridd are currently top of Cymru South, the same level as Llanelli and Carmarthen. No teamsheet. Russ Martin and Mark Allen were present. I’m not sure how much they would’ve learned. We had loads of possession, dominated throughout, …
