A very entertaining game today at Landore, a well deserved 3-1 victory over Reading in a persistent drizzle. We totally dominated the first half, Reading stepped up their game after the interval but we got our 2 goal advantage back with a well worked 3rd from sub Corey Hurford, who had a really positive impact …
A few minor gripes, but overall a great treat at Landore this evening. It seems our soft underbelly runs throughout our teams – we utterly dominated the game today, but gifted Cardiff 2 goals in short order. It would’ve been a travesty to have lost this match. We lined up 4-3-3: Ben Hughes; Joe Thomas, Kai Ludvigsen, Azeem …
Today’s game was screened live on the Charlton website. We went down 1-0 – quite disappointing given that Charlton missed a glut of chances and all it would’ve taken was a single slice of ambition or luck for us to have snatched what would admittedly have been a totally undeserved point. I’m afraid we betrayed …

Our U21 lost 4-1 against Arsenal in the Premier League Cup today in bucketing rain at Landore. The conditions didn’t help either side, although it’s fair to say we gifted all 4 goals through error strewn and indecisive defending – 3 goals came in the last 5 minutes of the 1st half and added time …
An excellent cup performance from our players against a very powerful Burnley side. Although the 1st half was fairly even, the visitors were much more clinical and took the chances that came their way on 22 and 42 minutes. They came close again after the interval, hitting the stanchion from close range and keeper Ben …

A very refreshing and ultimately decisive 4-0 victory for our U21 today. The heavens opened with about 20 minutes to go. Great credit to the players for continuing without any letup. The rain was biblical. Line-up in a fluid 3-4-2-1 formation: Ben Hughes; Harry Jones (sub Kai Ludvigsen 77), Brandon Cooper, Nathanael Ogbeta; Joe Thomas, Azeem Abdulai …
From my perspective, very much a game of two halves today at Landore. 4-0 wouldn’t have flattered us at half-time, it probably did at full-time. We lined up in a familiar and fluid 3-4-2-1 style, with some positional changes for a number of players: Ben Hughes; Harry Jones, Brandon Cooper, Kian Jenkins (Joe Thomas 81m); …
