From the official site.
It didn’t go well, Obafemi subbed after 60.
Swans 1 Charlton 3
Morgan Whittaker got on the scoresheet but his goal could not prevent Swansea City Under-23s falling to a 3-1 defeat against their Charlton counterparts.
Whittaker scored the only goal for the Swans, but two goals for Dylan Gavin and an incredible free-kick from Aaron Henry were enough to claim three points for the Addicks.
Swansea started the game positively, controlling possession despite not creating many clear-cut chances. Whittaker came closest in the early stages, his curling effort going just wide of the post.
But it would be Charlton who would take the lead after Gavin intercepted the ball on the edge of the Swans box. Harry Jones tried to clear his shot on the line, but could only turn it into the home net.
Just two minutes later, the Addicks doubled their lead. Henry spotted goalkeeper Nico Defreitas-Hansen off his line and hit an excellent shot from a free-kick in his own half to lob the goalkeeper and make it 2-0.
Charlton continued to test Defreitas-Hansen, with Gavin and Ben Dempsey both forcing good saves out of the goalkeeper from volleys.
The Swans continued to push in the first half but couldn’t find a breakthrough, Dan Williams won the ball back high up the pitch, but Michael Obafemi’s first-time shot was dragged wide.
But Swansea would find their goal early in the second half, Whittaker cutting in from the right-hand side and bending a low shot into the bottom corner.
However, Charlton would restore their two-goal lead as Gavin picked up his second of the afternoon, his close-range shot cannoning off the underside of the bar and in.
Williams' low cross looked destined to give Swansea their second goal of the afternoon, but a great block from Naz Bakrini denied Yan Dhanda a simple finish.
Substitute Joel Cotterill came close as he tried his luck, but his deflected effort went agonisingly wide of the goal.
The Swans continued to push for a second goal, Lincoln Mcfayden flashing a good ball across the box late on, but the Addicks held on to their advantage to claim the spoils.
Swansea City U23s: Nico Defreitas-Hansen, Tivonge Rushesha, Jacob Jones, Azeem Abdulai (Joel Cotterill 68), Harry Jones, Brandon Cooper (captain), Lincoln Mcfayden, Dan Williams, Michael Obafemi (Sam Leverett 60), Yan Dhanda, Morgan Whittaker (Tarrelle Whittaker 78).

Because the game has changed,not very often do you see high balls going into the box any more at games at this level,unless your cardiff of course,it's about playing and trying open up the opposition through passing looking for an opening,even when we get behind full back,we play low balls into box,the 6 foot 4 cart horse centre backs have had it not many left,and it's good in my opinion,couldn't believe how some these ever made professional footballers when couldn't pass ball 5 yards. |
Good reply. This from a poster some of whose views I abhor but here a decent reply .some others out there take note. It s getting rather incestuous now .
6 ft 4 does not actually mean you are a cart horse ,a shire horse or a donkey .
I stand by every word by the way ,so with all due respect …. |  |

Assuming by that comment Obafemi was poor? |
People who were at the game saying he wasn't making much effort. Looked neither fit nor interested. | | | |

Could Obafemi be Asoro mark 2. He was making faces at the camera at training the other day suggesting "get me out of here".
Homesickness is a problem for the immature. He just has to graft until he realises this is the bast place to be and at some point you cannot keep running away and make excuses. |  |

Oberfemi has the ability to become one of the best headless chickens in the Championship. | | | |

This was some of the issue with him a few weeks ago, his attitude. No matter what he was really doing, it’s the affect on others regards his behaviour and how it is interpreted. Maybe he is just thick ? | |

Looking like a big error of judgement signing him. The warning signs were there.
If he was on a free then fair enough but for that money...
Perhaps he'll come good but it's looking unlikely |  | | |

There seems to be a school of thought at the moment that's almost willing Obafemi to fail.
Did he look particularly enthusiastic in a reserve game where it sounds like individual errors by others cost us? Aye, probably not.
Has he looked keen, capable and worthy of more game time when given chances in the first team? Yes, he has. |  |

I'm definitely not willing him to fail, can't speak for others.
The frustration is that we've got limited finances & we can't afford to get these signings wrong.
After 3 months or so with us we really haven't seen much so far.
Not sure about you but I expected more. | | | |

I expected more, but then I didn't expect Piroe to be as good as he is, thus limiting MO's chances.
All we can judge Obafemi on is the limited first team game time he's had, and he's looked decent every time I've seen him. | |

Fair comment about Piroe, I don't think any of us did, he's a class apart.
If the comments about disciplinary issues at Southampton hadn't been made I wouldn't be so concerned. | | | |

What has he done in the first team to make him look "keen, capable and worthy"? | | | |

Uh, everything?
This is precisely what I mean. He's had just one league start, scored one goal and could have had another couple in limited sub appearances, yet there are those keen to portray him as hapless in every game.
When he's on the pitch his touch has been good, his workrate has been good and he's looked to get efforts in on goal whenever he's had the chance to. [Post edited 23 Nov 2021 20:31]

Why isn't Webb getting games? Completely out of favour since O'Leary come in? |
Think the first team schedule takes priority. Did you see the saves he made in the warm up on Sat? | | | |

Wtf is going on at 23s and 18s were going backwards |
It’s not been a good season under KOL that’s for sure | | | |

The red flags are there. He needs to realize that it’s a short career and if he doesn’t sort himself out it will be even shorter. Who will pay good money or take a chance on somebody with an attitude like this. | | | |

Yeah, if we hadn't heard the comments from Southampton you could just put it down to a young player settling in at a new club & it would be less concerning. | | | |

He will shape up I’m sure, just needs goal. | |

Hope you're right, Piroe is still young & he's going to need a break at some point. Obafemi needs to make the most of the opportunity when it does come. | | | |

Not sure hw will tbh,he's had z goal but it's not that,it's his all around play for me,terrible trying hold ball with back to goal,his touch not the best don't think he's clever enough either with his runs off the ball | | | |
