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 …
Here is an image slideshow from the Swans first home Under 18s Professional Development League game of the season against Coventry City at Landore on Saturday, 20 August 2022. The young Swans went ahead after just 18 minutes thanks to Kyrell Wilson, but the Sky Blues hit back before the break when defender Tristen Batanwi …
Swansea City Under-18s were defeated by Coventry City Under-18s in their first Premier League Development home fixture of the season. Kyrell Wilson got the afternoon off to a perfect start as put the home side in front in the 18th minute. However, it was the visitors who kept pushing and came from behind to take …
Swansea City Under 18s played their last home game of the 2021-2022 Professional Development League yesterday afternoon, when Watford were the visitors to Landore. The ten-man Swans suffered a 2-1 defeat to Watford, with head coach Darren Davies feeling his side deserved more from the game. The defeat was the young Swans only loss in …
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 …
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 …
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 …
