Today’s Under 21 match against top of the table Bristol City at Leckwith (kick off 1 o clock) is being streamed on the clubs You Tube channel. It’ll be interesting to see what the team looks like given that there’s the Youth Cup tie at Oxford tonight which, sadly, is not being streamed.
And with players going out on / coming back from loans.Originally Posted by the other bob wilson
King and Zimba back in the team as well as Taylor Jones. Campbell plays and a new name to me, Dakari Mafico who was named in Wales’ under 16 squad in November.
👍
Cardiff are being completely overwhelmed by Bristol. Only once in the opening 20 minutes has Cardiff even got into Bristol's half. Cardiff look an incredibly poor team at the moment.
seems a very experienced Bristol side, quite a few with lots of first team games
Yes, Owen Pritchard, who’s very good as a summariser, said he made it that the wurzels had around a thousand first team appearances in their team compared to about fifty in ours. Given that, I think we’ve done pretty well - impressed by the keeper and I really like the look of Dakari, although he probably should have scored from our best chance so far.
Great finish.
deft
Vontae Campbell puts City one up - a reward for a very good ten minutes for City in which Zimba and Dakari could also have scored.
Big step up for him if he was eligible for u16s in November, Massengo alone has over 100 senior appearances
Finished 1-0 and City were the better team in the second half. I honestly think you could make a case for that being City’s best result of the season at senior, under 21 and under 18 levels.
Enjoyed that. Nice win for City.
Great win.
Thought King grew into the game and looked the part second half.
Just seen who was playing for Bristol City - lots of 1st team experience there (8 players according to Bristol World). Makes it an even better performance.
I was fascinated by that comment about them having close to a thousand first team appearances and so I checked and it’s right - obviously King accounts for a lot of those, but DeSilva, Williams and Massengo have all played a hundred plus games.
Agreed about the summariser and the 2nd half summarise was just as good
In terms of team again agree with keeper and dakari but also though Benjamin at centre half and the number 10 gave solid performances as well
Enjoyable watch and I thoughthe ref was unfussy as well and seem to have a good rapport with the players
Yes, I agree about both Jac Clay as second half summariser and also about Antwi (number 10), who has been increasingly effective as the season has gone on.
Wasn't able to catch the game but saw Semenyo played. Was he any good? With all the talk about Sang at RB and Campbell not being worth a go, it was forgotten we had someone who this time last year was given a taste of first team action - albeit for 2 minutes - at Liverpool. Presumably, if he was fairly close last year who should be even closer this time.
Semenyo played on the left and did well there - he suffered from cramp late on, it was something which illustrated how hard the team worked. I’d say that Semenyo is more a candidate to be loaned out than a first team contender though.
Didn’t Morison say as much in the summer about Semenyo?
Will Spiers puts City a goal up in the Youth Cup game at Oxford in just three minutes.
1-0 to City at half time.
2-1 to Oxford now. 2 goals in 2 minutes!
