A very competitive 0-0 draw today in the rain at a miserable Landore against league leaders QPR. With a team bolstered by first team squad members or those returning from injury, we lined up 4-5-1, with widemen Ogbeta and McFayden often pushed up alongside lone striker Kukharevych: Nathan Broome; Sam Parker, Nathan Wood (s – …
We lost 3-0 today to a Cardiff side that played the percentages and took their chances – 4 shots on target and 3 goals tells its own story. Although Ogbeta, Watts and Parker were missing, we still seemed to have a decent starting 3-5-2 line-up at Leckwith: Remy Mitchell; Harry Jones, Filip Lissah, Richard Faakye; …
Here is an image slideshow from the Under 21 Professional Development League game between Swansea City and Colchester United at the Swansea City Academy in Landore on Friday, 1 December 2023. Swansea City Under-21s clinched their third consecutive league victory, overcoming Colchester United 4-1 at Landore, thanks to Kristian Fletcher’s hat-trick and a debut goal …
A reasonably comfortable 4-0 win today for our U21 against a workmanlike Ipswich side. We fielded a strong line-up in a 3-5-2 formation: Remy Mitchell; Joe Thomas, Filip Lissah, Richard Faakye (s – Jack Stafford 85m); Sam Parker, Mitchell Bates, Liam Smith (s – Aimar Govea 85m), Dan Watts (s – Charlie Veevers 85m), Lincoln …
A personal perspective. The match was no contest, as we fielded a very strong line-up with overage first team squad players Kyle Naughton, Liam Walsh, Oli Cooper and Cameron Congreve all starting. Line-up was a fairly adaptable 4-3-3: Evan Watts; Sam Parker, Filip Lissah, Kyle Naughton (s- Maliq Cadogan 62m), Nathan Tjoe-A-On (s- Richard Faakye …
A nice touch to award Michel Bates the skipper’s role. A regulation win for our U21 this evening at Stade de la Old Road. We played 3-5-2 and were in complete control from start to finish. Ferry never gave in, but the gig was up when their centre half was dismissed on 26 minutes. Ferry …
A convincing 2nd half performance gave our U21 a 4-0 win over Hull in the Premier League Cup this evening. It wasn’t easy, Hull fought hard but crumbled after the first goal immediately into the 2nd half. Line-up: 3-5-2 : Ben Hughes; Harry Jones, Filip Lissah (captain) (s – Kai Ludvigsen 80m), Richard Faakeye; Joe …
A thrilling cup victory via penalties over this evening over our near neighbours. It wasn’t plain sailing. We should have been out of sight well before having to go to penalties – although our players came through that challenge with flying colours. The particulars: we played 4-2-3-1 – Evan Watts; Sam Parker, Kai Ludvigsen, Filip …
A wholly convincing 4-0 victory today in the stadium sun. A little ‘after the Lord Mayor’s show’ after the interval, Hull were blown away by the flurry of first half goals and simply looked to keep possession and avoid conceding a hatful. No need to repeat the detail of the official report: the most interesting …
A commanding performance, not wholly fluent to begin with, but we completely dominated the final 3rd of the game and should have scored a hatful of goals. As it was, Crewe were fortunate to get away with conceding just the 4 and somehow managed to get themselves a consolation in the dying seconds to go …
