Decent weather for a change at Landore as our U-21 side faced Barnsley. We rather threw the game away – 2-1 up at an early point and looking in complete control, we conceded a weak penalty on half-time and had a disappointing 2nd half before succumbing to defeat at the last. It was another very …
A decent crowd at the stadium this evening for a match with our South Wales rivals. The weather had been quite pleasant during the day but, true to form, it not only bucketed down for a period in the 2nd half, there was also a bout of hailstones just after half-time! Coach Anthony Wright has …
QPR must feel a little hard done by with this result, having dominated much of the second half but without delivering the goods to reflect that control. Our side will have played better and lost, but all credit to the players – and to hat-trick man Morgan Bates in particular – for coming away with …
A fine and thoroughly deserved win for our U21s in the driving rain at Leckwith this evening. After the very youthful side put out earlier in the week shipped 6 goals at Charlton, this evening’s starting line-up featured just 2 U-18 players, Carter Heywood and Harlan Perry, with a number of scholars making up the …
A fine win for the U21s in the bitter cold this evening against a team that traditionally gives our U21s tough contests. For much of the game, play was fairly even, but the quality of Swans’ finishing made all the difference. Coach Anthony Wright maintained a 4-3-3 set-up, with newcomer Joe Collins making his debut …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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, …
