We seem to play Millwall at academy level every other week. Millwall were in our group in the PDL Cup and we greeted their U18s on Saturday. A few players who appeared on Saturday featured again today for both sides. We had a young side out today and set up as a fluid 4-3-3: Tom …
A confusing end to an otherwise strong performance by a very young U18s squad today at Landore, in conditions that were bitterly cold, blustery and rainy for much of the afternoon. After the FA Youth Cup heroics against Leeds earlier in the week, it was a much-changed selection, which operated as 3-5-2: Jakub Nowak; Kaven …
With some apologies for the late report – the only excuse is that I’ve done a fair bit of travelling over the past couple of days – here’s a brief narrative of what turned out to be a thoroughly memorable win over Category One side Leeds United at York. The match was played in York …
Today’s match kick-off was held up for 30 minutes whilst the mandatory ambulance was organised. The crowd was left to ponder as to the reason for the delay, as not only does the ground tannoy still fail to function, but the match announcer is also unwell. Get well soon, Eirian. With recent games lacking even …
Coming off the back of last weekend’s 4-1 age grade cup win against the same opponents at Leckwith, today’s victory over our South Wales rivals was deserved and hard earned. On a sunny day wintry at Landore, the line-up was a familiar 4-3-3. Jon Beale, who was previously at the academy before moving off to …
With a number of players back from recent international duties, we fielded an attacking line-up for this Development League Cup tie with Millwall. Carter Heywood, fresh from captaining Wales U17s, came into the back four and there was no Arthur Parker this evening, the feeling being that he might be getting called into the first …
This was a hard-earned victory at Landore against a Charlton Athletic side that was top of the Division 2 South table and unbeaten since August. It was also the U21s first home game since September. We fielded a strong-looking side, set up as 4-2-3-1: Evan Anderson; Sam Parker (s – Ramon Rees-Siso 59m), Arthur …
In the first home game in over a month, our U18s achieved a special victory today against near neighbours Bristol City. The last match here was a comprehensive 4-7 defeat to Bournemouth, so today’s outcome will taste especially sweet. We lined up initially 4-3-3 but varied the formation during the game, particularly when the visitors …
A cracking cup display and scalp for our U21 earlier today against Cat1 Brighton. The 3-1 win was thoroughly deserved and against an opposition that contributed fully to a match played at ferocious pace throughout. Brighton deployed an aggressive 4-2-4 formation, with 2 tricky wingers causing problems. It looked as though we’d done our homework, …
4-1 sounds like a convincing victory and it probably was in the end, but our U21s didn’t have everything their own way earlier in ths contest. Coach Anthony Wright had the comparative luxury of being able to select players from the fringes of the first team squad in the form of returning Ricardo Santos, plus …
