Swansea City 0 Sheffield United 2 – Under 21 Professional Development League

A return to the stadium, but a rather flat performance against a well-organised Sheffield United side. As was the case in the opening game last Friday, we started with a 4-3-3 formation but moved quickly to 3-4-3 with right back Bill Clarke joining midfield, leaving a back 3 of Iestyn Jones, Arthur Parker and Jack …

Swansea City 1 Sheffield United 4 – Under 18 Professional Development League

Our U18 team’s final home match of this season proved to be a disappointing affair. There was no teamsheet (again) and the tannoy hasn’t worked since November, but that’s OK, as there was no one present to do any announcements, anyway.  The academy experience lately seems to be taking the form of an article of …

Swansea City 4 Sheffield United 1 – Under 21 Professional Development League

Another encouraging result for our U21 – 4-1 – this time at the main stadium.    The game was preceded by a torrential burst of hailstones, which predictably made the pitch quite slippery.  We lined up 4-1-4-1 and varied positions throughout the 2nd half with substitutions: Remi Mitchell; Harry Jones (sub Joe Thomas 75m), Filip Lissah, …
