    Exeter 3 - 0 Cardiff XI

    I expected this to be our u21s plus the 3 amigos (ALF, Macheda, Dikgacoi) against a full strength Execter team.

    However, Exeter have just published the Cardiff squad list that the club have sent them - and it is basically the first team squad (although Healey, O'Sullivan and Wharton have squad numbers - but Tutonda and James don't!).

    http://www.exetercityfc.co.uk/news/a...-3212910.aspx?

    The local press have warned Exeter fans that they might miss out on seeing Macheda. Seriously.

    Don't suppose anyone knows if there'll be a stream knocking about for this?

    As far as I know most of that team sheet is just created from a random name generator, the same way OGS used to pick his starting 11.

    Re: Execter v Cardiff Friendly tonight

    Cardiff City have apologised to Exeter City over the lack of first-team players involved in tonight's preseason friendly.

    The game - the Grecians' last preseason friendly - was billed as being against a Cardiff City XI, meaning that, whilst it would not have been the Bluebirds' full-strength side, a few first-team players would still take part.

    However, the squad that has traveled from South Wales is primarily an under-21 squad, which is understood to have disappointed members of the Grecians hierarchy.

    Cardiff have now apologised for the relatively weak squad in a statement published on City's website.

    It read: "I'm afraid it will be our U21 side who travel tonight for which Cardiff City can only apologise as we made the arrangements for it to be a first team fixture in good faith.

    "We have a number of first team players like Adam Le Fondre and Federico Macheda who we had expected to play in the game but who have been excluded from the squad."

    No explanation why ALF and Macheda not in squad.

    Lots of Welsh interest playing for Exeter. Troy Brown, Lloyd James and Jake Taylor in the starting line up. Plus u17 internationals Max Smallcombe and Ethan Ampadu on the bench.

    Apparently they are still in the bus station waiting for the express coach to transport them down, I think Exeter should thank us for not exposing them to their knowledgeable younger fans

    Sounds like poor form from City in terms of what they promised Exeter.
