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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
A very young U18s squad played out a 3-1 defeat to a comparatively more experienced Wigan Athletic team at Landore. Still missing a number of otherwise eligible players through international duties, coach Joe Roberts picked a side that included 4 Under 16 players plus a further 3 among the substitutes. Close season signing centre half …
Our U21s claimed a convincing 6-0 win in the sun over Huddersfield Town today at the stadium. The game was effectively over by half-time, with the Swans 5 up, totally overwhelming a weak opposition. Huddersfield improved slightly in the second half (in truth, they couldn’t have got any worse) and the prospect of double figures …
I was able to attend only the first half of this morning’s U18s fixture with Hull until leaving for the first team appointment against Watford, so it was pleasing to learn that from being one up at the interval we’d earned a convincing 5-1 win by full-time. In the first half, we played attractively and …
4-0 sounds like a thoroughly convincing victory, but our U18s didn’t have things all their own way this morning at Landore. Opponents Fleetwood gave as good as they got during a competitive 1st half and only succumbed only through a flurry of 2nd half goals and a dismissal, which took the wind out of their sails. There …
