Anthony Wright pleased with response from Under-21s

Coach Anthony Wright was pleased with the response from Swansea City Under-21s as they bounced back from Tuesday's defeat at Wigan to claim a 4-1 victory over Bristol City at the Swansea.com Stadium.

In-form Morgan Bates had the Swans ahead within five minutes, but the Robins responded immediately and drew level through Raekwan Nelson.

But Bobby Wales went on to add a brace, either side of a goal from first-year scholar Kai Rhodes, to seal the win for the hosts.

The Swans remain unbeaten at home so far this season, having recorded previous wins in SA1 against Crewe Alexandra and Huddersfield Town.

And Wright was pleased with their response following the 5-2 loss to the Latics.

"Overall, we are quite pleased with a lot of elements of the game. I thought that we played with a lot of control in the game but probably, at times, we made the game a little bit more difficult than what it was," said Wright.

"We started off the game so well, and created a couple of opportunities early on. We stretched their backline and we created opportunities from that and got the goal.

"Then I think we just had a little spell where we probably got too comfortable with the ball, and that gives the opposition more confidence.

"We just spoke before half time just about connecting around the pitch getting the distances right, which but we did.

"Off the ball we were a lot better too, especially when they had their spells in the game. The players stuck together, dug in, and worked for each other.

"I really enjoyed our 30 minutes of the second half where we showed a real good level.

"If we'd been critical on ourselves, and I know we've scored a few goals today, but we probably should have scored more to really kill the game.

"We're really pleased to have put Tuesday's performance behind us. I just think against Wigan there were too many mistakes. The goals that we give away were really poor goals. 

"We've looked at ourselves this week and we've had real honest conversations about putting it right."
