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, …
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 …
We’ve been rather spoilt to date with the strength of the U21s playing squad. That all changed in Wednesday’s Nathaniel MG Cup 3rd Round tie with Cymru Premier Haverfordwest. With a number of players absent either on loan or international duty, coach Anthony Wright was reduced the bare bones of a squad that featured players …
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 …
A win’s a win and we keep our excellent U21s record at the stadium going. Our U21s clinched a 3-2 victory over Crewe on a warm evening. We didn’t look entirely convincing over the entire match, though. On the face of it, our initial match line-up looked imbalanced: 3 widemen – 4 if you …
A comfortable 5-0 win for our U21s in this Nathaniel MG Cup 2nd round tie against Afan Lido, held at Goytre United’s picturesque Glenhafod Park due to Lido’s own ground undergoing necessary improvement work. We started 3-4-3 and rotated to 4-3-3 after half-time, maintaining this shape for the rest of the game. Both styles worked well. …
