The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

When's the last time any of our men's sides won a game?

14th January I think (u18s beat Watford).
14 games without a win since then unless we turn this one around late.

1-1! Morgan Wigley

Can City hang on to end their eleven game losing run?

[City123]

2-1, Whyte!

[Sunnysideup]

Morgan Wigley rounds the keeper to level then minutes later Gavin Whyte puts the Bluebirds in front from a well struck free kick 1 - 2 ⚽️⚽️👍

Thought Wigley was impressive against Villa and I'm fairly sure he made the bench against Leeds?

Now 2-2

2-2 FT

Any word on how Rubin did?

The u17 squad announcement above (dated 2 days ago) has both Biancheri and Benjamin as Cardiff City players.

I thought Benjamin was signed by Man City on the basis he remained with Cardiff to the summer, but all the reports on Biancheri said he is now a Man United player.

That’s what I thought. I think to qualify for the under 17s, you need to under that age on 1 September, so I suppose it might be based on who they were contracted to on that date?

If this is correct the Man United capture of Biancheri is not yet complete - waiting FIFA authorisation (but imminent):

Part of the Wales u17 squad that beat Israel 2-1 today in their warm up for the UEFA Elite Round in March when they'll be playing Iceland, Scotland & Montenegro, should they top the group then they'll be going to the u17s Euros in the summer

8 City players in the squad

Answering your question THC it’s not exactly how Rubin did but what he was allowed to do.
He’ll be the first to admit that he’s not has the best of seasons
Unfortunately he’s suffered several niggling injuries and is trying to get back to match fitness
He was only allowed to play the first sixty minutes yesterday

You’re correct, he hasn’t had the best of his seasons but, ironically, this season has a memory for him that’ll be with him for life, playing against England in a World Cup Finals.

He certainly did.

Great pace from Wigley and a nice composed finish

Watching that I still have no idea why we signed Antwi or Daley-Campbell, and what's happened to Kristiansen (?) who was brought in under the bizarre pretence of adding experience?

[Sunnysideup]

Seb Kristiensen has had personal troubles and unfortunately hasn’t played since the home win against Swansea last year.

Was it that one sided or are the highlights a bit biased?

I’ve seen the highlights on our website as well because the same thought occurred to me - it was that one sided.

Another defeat for the under 18s today, this one by 1-0 at Colchester.

[Sunnysideup]

Poor result from the 18’s
They travelled up on the Friday and stayed overnight so no real excuses 😕

Sadly, at a level far below where h needs to be playing.

The loan only makes sense if he's still training with us.
