Kingsley Makes Crewe Debut At Wigan
Stephen Kingsley had an impressive debut for Crewe today as they were beaten 1-0 by WIgan at the DW Stadium although they were, by all accounts, unlucky with that final result.
Kingsley joined Crewe this week on an emergency loan having been involved in the Swans pre-season training camp and with the club believing that a spell at the League One club would be more beneficial for him than playing for the Under-21s.
Kingsley played at left back and was a constant threat to the Wigan defence getting forward and almost grabbed a debut goal but was denied by a flying save from the home goalkeeper.
Earlier in the day, Kingsley had spoken about how much he was looking forward to his debut "If I’m involved at Wigan then it would be a good place to make my Crewe debut. They are a big club and it wasn’t that long ago that they were in the Premier League and winning the FA Cup.
"It should be a great game in a good atmosphere and one you would look forward to. They have come down from the Championship and are expected to do well in this division so we know it will be tough but the spirit is good here and we will play with no fear.
"It will be a challenge but one we are all looking forward to and it would be great to get our first win of the season there.”
Another Swans loanee Adam King also played in the game

Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and
wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
Swansea reject Cullen contract and trigger one year option Liam Cullen has had his request for a new contract dismissed by Swansea City after discussions broke down last week. The lowest paid ‘senior’ player at the club ( he is twenty five) asked for a better contract increasing his £3,500 a week to around £7,000 a week over three years.
Sam Parker hasn’t turned down a new deal, he is willing to negotiate He was a revelation for the Swans for the few games he played this season, and now it emerges Sam Parker has ‘turned down’ a new Swansea City contract. News is thin on the ground, and some of it just incorrect as he looks to involve his representatives in some further negotiations. Plus his current contract runs for two more years.
Swansea City : The vision is clearer, so Jamal Lowe ? There were some worrying moments for the Swans yesterday, on three occasions mistakes from playing out from the back nearly saw the home side score. And is there now a case for Jamal Lowe to be offered a contract at Swansea ?
