Trialist Dennis Oli continued his run as top pre-season goalscorer with the equaliser in Thursday's tight friendly. In sweltering conditions, the Swans had their chances to win this fixture, but in the end, a draw was probably the right result.
Looking to build on Swansea's impressive draw against Telstar, Jackett was searching for his first Dutch victory against First Division side Telstar and fielded a strong side.
Starting Line Up:
Brian Murphy replaced Gueret in goal, while a new strike partnership of Thomas and Oli was installed up front. For the first time in pre-season, Jackett named an unchanged defence but reverted to a four-man midfield with Fisken and Martinez in the centre.
The new strike partnership almost gave Swansea the lead within the first five minutes, with Thomas heading just over from an accurate Oli cross. However, the Telstar forwards were giving Tate and Jones problems at the back, and after a couple of scares, Swansea conceded the opening goal with a sweet lob over the oncoming Murphy.
Swansea reacted well, with numerous half chances through the likes of Martinez and Robinson. Just before the break, Oli got a touch on a Leon Britton strike to equalise for the Swans and left a scoreline of 1-1 at half time.
Compared to the first half, the second half was a dull 45 minutes of football. The hot conditions seemed to affect the players and both sides appeared content to play out a 1-1 draw. Rewberry and Pritchard both appeared as late substitutes, but Swansea finished with their second consecutive Dutch Tour draw.
Therefore, Swansea remain unbeaten in pre-season, but critics may say that they haven't exactly set the world alight. Goalscoring appears to be a mjor problem and Swans fans will be hoping two decent victories in the remaining friendlies will see a the forwards gaining confidence by hitting the back of the net more often.
Injured: Forbes, O'Leary, Trundle, Iriekpen, Hylton, Maylett.
