Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Unlucky. Heavy touch by young Giles leads to a Fulham goal on the counter.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Fulham score with breakaway. 1-2
Shame. City played well.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Fulham win it two minutes into added time following a miscontrol by one of our players on the edge of the Fulham penalty area from a City corner when we were looking the more likely winners. A great effort by our youngsters in a game that was ten times more watchable than recent first team matches.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
...yes...enjoyed that half....also Matondo when he cam on....as stated before, Barton was the one to watch.

I agree Bob. Good game, City unlicky.
One or two players I wouldn't mind seeing in the 1st team.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Good game indeed, decent turnout too. Not much to add to what's been said here, Fulham were a good side but City worked very hard out of possession and always posed a threat going forward.
I hadn't seen Nyakuhwa before but I was impressed; pace, skill and good movement. Nice link-up with Matondo near the end when it looked like they were hemmed in around the half way line. Very promising.
Where was Beecher by the way? Are we reading anything into his absence or has he had a knock lately?

Nyakuhwa is someone who hasn’t impressed me much when I’ve seen him before, but I thought he was very good last night.
Beecher must be injured unfortunately, it’s a long time since he played for the under 21s and I’ve not seen his name in the under 18 sides on Twitter lately either.

I don't mind him normally, but I agree that talking about a possible giant killing win with more than half an hour left was asking for trouble. Also, I disagree with Maurice about the "drippy" co commentator, he was an Academy player by the name of Cole Fleming who has been out injured for most of the season - I thought he spoke well and made some good points in a role he must have had no previous experience of.

Great form, please God, a few of the lads kick on, catch the eye and make the step up. God knows we need some young blood, our own young blood at that.

Interesting to see if the bloke recently appointed to make that happen makes a difference.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
I suppose there's a chance it might be frozen off, but City's under 21s are due to play Watford at Leckwith today (kick off 2 o clock) - I assume it'll be streamed if the game goes ahead.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
League tables up to date to Christmas for the under 18s and under 21s, the under 18s have played, and won, a game since then (as have Watford, while the wurzels have lost a game)

No Ashford, J.Colwill, Antwi, Crole or Benjamin so quite a young side

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
0-0 half time, not too many signs of a goal, but there’s a nice contrast in styles between the teams to make it watchable. Watford are tending to build up slowly and deliberately, whereas we’re looking to hit them on the break with our four quic k attacking players.
Spiers doing well at right back and Kenniford and Barton are making a good midfield pairing.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Finished 0-0, we had little to offer as an attacking force once Watford started pressing higher up the pitch and this allowed centre backs Fagan-Walcott and Cook to come to the fore as we came under pressure,. That said, we came closest to winning the game when one of Watford’s centrebacks and their keeper had a Plymouth own goal type breakdown in communications and a back pass rolled about a foot wide with the keeper nowhere.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Fagan-Walcott has joined Dunfermline on loan in the Scottish championship.
We seem to be sending a lot of our young players to Scotland.

Let's hope he gets more game time than some of our other loans that have gone north of the border this season.

If you are talking about Messrs Denham and Davies neither are being selected for their teams, we have not recalled them so, I guess that we don't care because they do not have a future with us and we are glad to have their wages off the books. It seems to be different for Eli and, perhaps, Fagan-Walcott.

Davies has been starting regularly since he moved to Belgium
