One nil half time .Swansea down to ten men.Bainbridge sent off for high tackle.Seven changes from the side that beat Chelsea.Could be some will have their chance tomorrow against Man U. | |

Swans U23s on 20:21 - Oct 23 with 8072 views | A_Fans_Dad | A second goal for Liecester, very poor defending by the Swans youngsters. | | | |
Swans U23s on 20:49 - Oct 23 with 7979 views | A_Fans_Dad | Interesting surface that Liecester play on, it is so slippery when wet that the players, especially the Swans are having trouble keeping their feet. | | | |

Lost two nil. Well beaten .Too many changes and ten men too much of a handicap. | |

Swans U23s on 23:18 - Oct 23 with 7705 views | Kilkennyjack | Interesting the PL2 league table. Bottom two are Man Utd and Chelsea. Played 16 games between them, and only 2 wins in total. Are they taking a different approach to elite level player development ? As Tammy is showing for us, maybe you can only develop fully in a competitive first team environment. Jasper T - any informed view mate ? [Post edited 23 Oct 2017 23:19]

I don't have an informed view of United and Chelsea's youth setups. I know they've spent more on their u16s than we have on the u23s, though. They do find it a lot easier than we do get league clubs interested in loaning their players. Benefit of the big club reputation. Maybe all their good players are out getting proper football? Their backroom staff are probably better at getting the paperwork in on time, too. Apart from Rashford how many of united's recent academy graduates haven't been shite? Sunderland actually spent money on McNair and Love the clowns. Blinded by the brand name. | | | |

Thanks, always interesting. Rashford is 20 next week (!), lingard is 24. Both full England internationals already. Despite buying any player they want, whenever they want, managers changing, they still produce such players. I take your point on brand. | |

I am sure when I looked during the Chelsea match, Chelsea had around 34 players out on loan. They were essentially fielding the best of the rest who nobody deemed good enough to take on loan. Meanwhile we have players capable of playing in the Football League instead playing and learning nothing in these U23 matches. Getting bullied by some experienced lower league centre backs would do him a world of good. He goes from playing a bunch of 18 year olds each week to being expected to compete against elite players like Smalling, Jones, Lindolf or whoever will be playing tomorrow. He doesn't have a chance. | |
