A behind closed doors friendly was played to keep both teams match fit during the international break that Warnock and Potts wanted......The Swans came out winners 2 - 0..... GOALS FROM YAN DHANDA AND BOTTI BIABI HELPED THE SWANS TO A 2-0 WIN OVER CARDIFF CITY IN A BEHIND-CLOSED DOORS FRIENDLY. Played at the Vale Resort, the friendly offered a number of first-team players some vital game-time ahead of the next Championship clash with Nottingham Forest next week, with Nathan Dyer - who captained the Swans - featuring for the full 90 minutes. Luciano Narsingh also featured for an hour while Wayne Routledge played 68 minutes before being replaced by Jordon Garrick. Dhanda, who also struck the post, broke the deadlock after six minutes while Biabi scored from the penalty spot in the latter stages after former Swan Jazz Richards fouled Courtney Baker-Richardson in the box. Swans: Steven Benda, Wayne Routledge (Jordon Garrick, 68), Kyle Naughton, Ryan Blair, Matt Grimes (Joe Lewis, 68), Nathan Dyer (capt), George Byers, Yan Dhanda (Botti Biabi, 68), Tom Carroll (Adnan Maric, 60), Barrie McKay (Courtney Baker-Richardson, 60), Luciano Narsingh (Tyler Reid, 60).
what has to be looked at was what Cardiff put on the pitch. if they were quite strong then worked, if they played their kids means nothing.
Wanted to keep his players fit suggests warnock played a strong side or what is the point.... Potts on the other hand dont know his strongest side yet and played Dyer and Routs and Narsingh for an hour but it was the new kids on the block who got the goals....
Disagree, are we really needing to test Jeff's fitness. He's ripping up teams with his strategically planned cameos. Why risk him getting injured in a meaningless match against Warnock's cloggers. We need to look after Jeff!!.. The 3 that haven't featured needed this game time..
