If D'Almeida is being released, why is he playing today?

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
No chance of a playoff spot now, with Ipswich winning on Friday. We can catch Bristol City on points but their goal difference is 14 better than ours with 1 game each left.
Still a good season for them though, especially with so many breaking through to senior football, with us and elsewhere.

Maybe we needed him to make a sensible formation.
No point trying to assess the triallists in a team that doesn't work

A shame, he was good in his little cameo at Fulham
Anything on Bowen? He impressed when he was playing under Mick earlier this season, a shame if he's moved on as well

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
The trialist wearing no 8 has started well. Think it's Qureshi (from Brighton).

I like the look of the number 3 as well.
Crole almost scored too

Yeah.
2 decent efforts from Crole.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
D'Almeida doing well as well.
Colwill seems to spend a lot of time walking

Nothing concrete, but I think it’s obvious he won’t feature under Morison so a move probably best for his career even if he has to drop down to lower league club. 21 now another year in the 23s is no good for him, he’s better than that. For his own career needs to be playing first team football.

City win 2-1 after falling behind with about twenty minutes left. James Crole equalised and a deflected effort by sub Cian Ashford won it. Not a bad game which I’d say City just about deserved to win.

Yeah I enjoyed that game.

Watched the 1st half but not the 2nd. Missed all the goals!

Think we were on top for a bit longer in the second half, but it was a good competitive game.
Ashford seemed to give us a bit more energy when he came on

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Yes Birdman
It’s a typical City conundrum
Not only was he released last Friday but they played Tavio today and made him Captain
I’m not sure how I’d feel about that??
It was definitely his last game today tho

I remember Dave Jones releasing a bunch of youngsters then on the Saturday only being able to name four players for the first team bench and many asked why not use of one of the kids, and he replied, quite reasonably, that would just be messing a lad around and if it was one of his kids he'd be ringing the manager to ask what was going on.
But maybe it's a bit different at U23 level and Tavio was expected to see out his contract much in the way of Vaulks and Flint etc. Be professional and do the job, and to be fair, he was and did. Or perhaps he asked to be involved for one last time. Good luck to the lad, he got a first team appearance for his troubles which is more than most.

yes one of our best players I thought, in a position we don't have much cover.
I would have been happy to see him as a backup to Wintle, but who knows who they're going to bring in.
if anything he can be a bit passive perhaps rather than grabbing the game by the scruff of the neck.

Gents I can’t see a mention of players getting released anywhere??

Wales Online reporting that the trialists for the Crewe game were goalie James Pardington from Wolves, defender Fionn O'Brien from Coventry and the winger from Brighton, Qureshi.

He’s played the odd game for the Under 18s and scored once I believe, but I would guess that he’s only something like fourteen or fifteen.

How does it work at that age? Do we get nothing if a player moves?

A tribunal maybe? I think Harvey Elliott joined Liverpool at 16 and I think Biancheri is a similar age

It happened with Matondo; didn't we get about half a million? Then they sold him to Schalke for £11M
