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 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.
