Swansea City 4-0 Colchester United
Colchester are challenging for promotion from League One but they were easily beaten by Premier League contenders Swansea City, who haven’t lost at home since November. Swansea will be at home again in the fourth round: they face Leyton Orient, who knocked out Swansea’s promotion rivals Norwich City.
Ashley Williams, Joe Allen and Jazz Richards all played 90 minutes for Swansea, as did, more surprisingly, Danny Alfei, who played a big part in two of Swansea’s goals. Jermaine Easter was a late substitute but Casey Thomas stayed on the bench.
Jazz was hoping Swansea could win this match and take their Cup form back into the League with them. It’s fair to say they’ve done the first part.
Lee Beevers started for Colchester with Lloyd James coming off the bench. Tom Bender was an unused substitute.
West Ham United 2-0 Barnsley
West Ham lost 5-0 to Newcastle United in the week, a side Stevenage had apparently little trouble in despatching. Manager Avram Grant sensibly made eight changes and it worked well in the first half – Barnsley might not be among the league’s front-runners but they do have Adam Hammill. In the second half, West Ham seemed content to defend their lead, which was only 1-0 at this time, and Barnsley were quite unlucky to get an equaliser. But luckily for West Ham, the game’s second goal was scored by the home side and they progressed to set up a home match against Nottingham Forest in the fourth round.
Danny Gabbidon was one of West Ham’s rested players.

Welsh Players Christmas-New Year matches 2010-11 (Championship, Part 4)
Swansea City
Neil Taylor had a mixed Christmas, starting off as a substitute and winning back his place in the starting line-up… only to suffer an ankle injury after two starts.
Sheff Utd A 1-0 (bench)
QPR A 4-0 (bench, on 20)
Barnsley H 1-0 (played all)
Reading H 1-0 (starts, off 28)
Leicester A 2-1 (out, ankle)
Ashley Williams continued to set new records for number of consecutive starts by an outfield player at Swansea City. Luckily the yellow card was his second of the season rather than his fifth.

QPR A 4-0 (played all)
Barnsley H 1-0 (bench, on 63)

I’m not sure why David Cotterill needed a rest for the match about Queen’s Park Rangers but I bet manager Brendan Roberts really regrets leaving him out.

Carling Cup Fixtures 21st September 2010 Part 1
Birmingham v Milton Keynes Dons
MK Dons disposed of Blackpool in their last Carling Cup fixture Birmingham are likely to field a weakened side but MK Dons will be lucky to do it again.
Jermaine Easter’s only goals so far came in the last round of the Carling Cup. Maybe another goal or two in this match will get him up and running in the league.
Brentford v Everton
Brentford beat Hull City in the last round but Everton should prove a sterner test. Everton’s only win in any competition this season was their Carling Cup win over Huddersfield Town.
Nicky Adams could keep his place in Brentford’s starting line-up.
Burnley v Bolton Wanderers
Owen Coyle walked out on Burnley to manage Bolton. I’m sure the fans will be just delighted to see him again. Bolton will field a weakened side in this Carling Cup match so Burnley, who are doing well in the Championship, might fancy their chances. Especially as their former player Robbie Blake doesn’t want to score against them.
Sam Ricketts has spent most of this season on the bench so I’d expect him to play tomorrow.
Millwall v Ipswich Town
Millwall haven’t won any of their last three fixtures and will be eager to get back to winning ways. It is unfortunate, then, that they face a side who have only lost once this season – and that was to high-flying Queen’s Park Rangers.
Millwall are a bit short of strikers due to injury and eligible loanees so Steve Morison might not be rested.
Ipswich are expected to do a spot of player rotation so Troy Brown could come into the starting line-up. He wasn’t in the squad at the weekend though so he might be injured.
Peterborough United v Swansea City
Peterborough’s last Carling Cup victims were Cardiff City. Now the League One promotion contenders set their sights on the other League side in Wales. (For once, Wrexham are probably quite glad of rheir Championship status.)
Peterborough’s Arron Davies will miss the match due to a hamstring injury.
But with Swansea on the pitch, the match is sure to have some Welsh representatives. Ashley Williams and Neil Taylor have become regulars in the League while David Cotterill and Joe Allen seem to be sharing a midfield position. If Swansea manager Brendan Rogers chooses to rest players, goalkeeper David Cornell, Jazz Richards and Casey Thomas are all capable of doing a job.

Welsh Player News 17th September 2010 (Championship, Part 2)
Leeds United have signed Blackburn Rovers goalkeeper Jason Brown on loan for one month. Their first-choice keeper has a foot injury.
Andy King believes Leicester City can blow away any Championship team.
Blackburn want Steve Morison but Millwall want to keep him. Or do they?
Andrew Crofts is the Norwich City Vital Football’s Player of the Month.
Paul Parry has been building up his match fitness by playing with the reserves.
Simon Church thinks Reading’s defence can stop Middlesbrough from scoring tomorrow.
Ashley Williams says he’s happy in Swansea but he wouldn’t mind an away win…
Ashley sees Scunthrpe United as a bit of a surprise package this season. I can only agree, I thought they were going to be like Peterborough last year.
New Swansea City left back Neil Taylor says he is living the dream. Mid-table Blue Square Premier to Championship play-off hopefuls in just a few months.
Swansea goalkeeper David Cornell could be sent out on loan to gain experience. Daniel Alfei and Casey Thomas are also loan candidates.

Championship Fixtures 18th September 2010 Part 3
Millwall v Watford
Millwall manager Kenny Jackett is up against the only club he played for in his career. He only played for ten years but even so, it’s nice to see a bit of loyalty. Kenny has also coached and managed Watford. Watford go into this match with an unbeaten away record.
Steve Morison is likely to start for Millwall.
Preston North End v Norwich City
Preston have only beaten Norwich twice at home in the last 39 years and wins of any kind are thin on the ground for Preston at the moment. Norwich lost their last game but they’re still only out of the play-off places on goal difference.
Paul Parry made his second comeback from a knee operation early last Saturday and went on to play the complete game against Burnley midweek. He’s said he’s likely to continue to have problems with his knee for the rest of his career so it’s not impossible he’ll be rested for this match. Craig Morgan, however, should play for Preston.
Andrew Crofts should be in Norwich’s starting line-up.
Sheffield United v Portsmouth
Sheffield United will be wanting to bounce back from a surprise 4-0 defeat to Scunthorpe United. Portsmouth also conceded four goals last week although they did manage to score one.
Ched Evans hasn’t scored since the first day of the season and if Sheffield Utd manager Gary Speed decides to make changes, that could include changes up front.
Swansea City v Scunthorpe United
Scunthorpe were predicted to struggle but they’re up in the top half of the table – three places ahead of Swansea but only on goal difference. The bad news for Scunthorpe is that Swansea have a 100% home record this season and have only conceded one goal.
Ashley Williams and Neil Taylor are likely to start for Swansea. Joe Allen did well in midweek when he started – David Cotterill was the player who dropped to the bench to replace him. David Cornell and Casey Thomas could both be on the bench although both are candidates to go out on loan.

Championship Results 11th September 2010 Part 2
Leeds United 2-1 Swansea City
Swansea haven’t won at Elland Road for 61 years – not only was their manager born yet, his parents might not have been either. Nevertheless, Swansea took the lead – but it didn’t last.
Sanchez Watt started for Leeds but new loan signing Jason Brown was only on the bench.
David Cotterill got the assist for Swansea’s goal. He, Neil Taylor and Ashley Williams all played the full match. Joe Allen made a substitute appearance but David Cornell and Casey Thomas stayed on the bench.
Norwich City 2-1 Barnsley
Norwich beat Barnsley to continue their unbeaten run. Barnsley took the lead in first-half stoppage time, too late for Norwich to find an immediate equaliser, but they scored twice in the second half to take the points.
Andrew Crofts played the full match for Norwich after recovering from either an ankle injury or a groin injury. Wales were told it was a groin injury but maybe Andrew just isn’t very good at biology.
Nottingham Forest 1-1 Millwall
A late Forest equaliser – or a referee’s error - denied Millwall their fourth win of the season but they remain very much in the play-off hunt while Forest were still without a first win. Both teams finished in third place last season – in other words, Forest were 24 places above Millwall.
Robert Earnshaw started for Forest and had the chance of scoring a brilliant equaliser but he left the field with a hamstring injury after 27 minutes. If he’d been on the pitch, he might have taken Forest’s penalty – and, unlike Dexter Blackstock, perhaps he would have scored it. Chris Gunter completed his three-match suspension with this game.
Steve Morison scored Millwall’s goal after just eight minutes.
Portsmouth 0-0 Ipswich Town
Portsmouth are probably grateful for any point they can get at the moment so a point at home to unbeaten Ipswich would have been particularly welcome. They were the first team to keep a clean sheet against Ipswich too.
Troy Brown was on the bench for Ipswich.

Carling Cup Results 24th August 2010 Part 5
Tranmere Rovers 1-3 Swansea City
Tranmere made a great start to the match, going 1-0 up after 22 minutes and hanging on well into the second half. It looked like the League One side might actually do it. But the equaliser finally arrived and Swansea took the lead in the very next minute. Then, just to make the score look more respectable, Swansea got a third.
Kayleden Brown wasn’t in the squad for this match. Maybe West Brom don’t want him cup-tied.
Joe Allen (who nearly marked his first start of the season with a goal) and joined Ashley Williams in the starting line-up for this match. There was also first Swansea starts for Casey Thomas and new signing Neil Taylor. David Cornell, Jazz Richards and Joe Walsh were among the unused substitutes.
Watford 1-2 Notts County
Notts County have been famous for their giant-killings recently. Wigan Athletic were their victims last year, this time another w-team, Watford, followed. Admittedly Wigan was funnier given they are in the Premier League and County were then in League Two but it stopped being so funny after Wigan beat Arsenal. Funny that.) Watford have made a good start in the Championship this season and dominated this match but Notts County were the team able to take their chances.
Ben Davies got his first Notts County goal of the season from a free kick just after half-time and they hung on for another twenty-one minutes before doubling their lead. Watford got a goal back not long after that but they were unable to add to their tally and League One Notts County advance to the next round.
Watford played a substitute goalkeeper in this match but it wasn’t Jonathan Bond. Not unless he’s changed his name by deed poll. And his squad number.

Southampton Reserves 3-0 Swansea City
Kayne McLaggon got an assist as Southampton thrashed Swansea. Ryan Doble replaced Kayne after 70 minutes with Garyn Preen coming off the bench fifteen minutes later.
However Swansea’s Welsh players had a lot less to be happy about. David Cornell played in goal Ashley Richards, Daniel Sheehan, Matty Collins, Scott Evans (replaced by Casey Thomas after 73 minutes) and Chad Bond also played with Daniel Alfei coming on after 73 minutes. Lee Lucas stayed on the bench. (At least, I think all these players played. I only saw their surnames so some of them could be other people.)

Swansea.Cardiff News 10th December
Swansea City beat Hereford 3-1 in a reserve match (and the match report found its way onto Google News where I could find it). David Cornell, Daniel Sheehan, Matty Collins, Scott Evans, Casey Thomas and Chad Bond. Daniel Alfei came on as a substitute.
Joe Ledley has found he needs surgery on both his hips, not just the one as he thought. He could be out for eight months. He’s agreed to play on for the rest of the year (luckily for him it’s December) but he understandably wants the operation sooner rather than later. He’s expected to play on Sunday.
