Swansea City 2 Millwall 2 – Under 18 Professional Development League

A short report of today’s U18s match. I stayed for 65 minutes before making my way across to the funfest due to unfold at the main stadium. It may be that we were missing players, the starting formation and selection was a little novel – essentially 3-4-1-2 as follows: Kit Margetson; Sam Parker, Jada Mawongo, Arthur …

Swansea City 3 Wigan Athletic 0 – Under 21 Professional Development League

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 5 QPR 0 – Under 18 Professional Development League

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 …

Swansea City 1 Charlton Athletic 3 – Under 23 Professional Development League

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 …
