U21 game

[3swan]

Apart from a few highlights this is my first live game
HT 1-1

Overall an entertaining 45 mins a good long distant shot for us. Penalty for them, which was poor and could see it coming a mile off
A couple of chances for them and maybe 4 well worked chances for us
Playing at a high tempo with some good interplay.
Only one criticism don’t know the names as only numbers but our no 5 seems to have a slight attitude problem and already on a yellow card

Fillip Lissah was our 5

Not able to attend this away game but sounds like Mitchell Bates and Kyrell Wilson both having good games again, with each getting a goal and Kristian Fletcher the DC Utd loaned getting a 90th minute winner for the Swans having missed a good chance to score when he came on.

The Swans had taken the lead before finding themselves 2-1 down in the second half.

Another watchable 45 mins.

I won't retract my comment about the No 5 Lissah, but to be fair he was up against a very mobile and physical stronger No 9.
It was great to see a team that looked to go forward at every chance. Sometimes it was overplayed and the weight of passing needs work on but that would be a bit a bit harsh.
Difficult as I've said to say who played well etc, as I think it was a very good team performance.
Our No 3 battled well and the number 12 showed some good thoughts in his game.
Mostly played in good spirit, but our last yellow was very poor I think No 12 who tried a breakaway and insptead of passing run into trouble and lost the ball. Running back to break up their attack, it was a 'Taking one for the team' which wasn't really needed and ended with the Cov player being carried off.
To sum up, if you get the chance go and watch them, it is worth it.

Just to add our keeper Watts was very vocal giving support and encouragement. Could well develop into a good keeper.
All 5 goals were well taken including the penalty. Especially our third where a perfect cross was a gift to score. Only a couple of minutes earlier there was a similar cross which was just inches from a connection.
Let's hope some develop and we see them come through.

Thanks for posting these. We're in the second clip

Throw back to many years ago.

I might write a book on how we took the home end
