Brooks opted to play for England in the Toulon tournament and at the time it was reported that he had made his mind up about who he wanted to play his international football for, but, obviously, that's not the case.
What an impressive win that was - disappointing to hear the Welsh bench telling Mark Harris to take the ball to the corner flag when we were 3-0 up with about two minutes left though.
Thanks for the link blue in the face.
Yeah, I thought exactly the same Bob, alien concept for fans of a certain vintage!Originally Posted by the other bob wilson

If Books continues to get minutes for Sheffield United and Woodburn remains out of the picture at Liverpool he'll be in the seniors very soon, could even be on the hypothetical plane to Russia if we somehow make it
I'm sorry for ever doubting him
With nine eligible squad members away on international duty, City's Development team have five trialists in their squad for this afternoon's game at Huddersfield - ko 1 pm.
Any idea who any of the triallists were?
Wasn't Bellers just "player development manager". Was he actually managing the DVP side at any stage?
Also, isn't Jarred Harvey co-manager as well this year? I'm not quite sure of Legg's role?
Assuming they are still on trial with us, two could be David Attah (LW) and Ufumwen Osawe (RB). Here's TOBW's report from the previous game. Encouraging read on Osawe...

Winning 2-0 after 60 minutes
A 2-1 win for a City team with two trialist full backs and three trialist forwards - Huddersfield are usually very strong at this level (I've seen them stuff us twice down here), so this is a very good result for City.
Reminder guys that the Welsh u21s are away to Portugal tomorrow. I keep dropping the links for games in at last notice so folks don't see in time.
The u19s are supposed to be playing Iceland again at 17.00. Couldn't find a link for the last game but maybe that was a good thing. A few bluebirds involved though. Will try and find a link again.
Doood. I made the same silly comment on another board. I don't think Woodburn would've got on if Ledley and Allen were available. So thank goodness they weren't. I cannot stop watching that goal. One of my favorite moments watching football.
Wow. Thanks for the update. Great result. I was sort of dodging the result knowing players would be missing. This French right back sounds decent from what you said last time. Shame Coxe didn't go out on loan but could be a good excuse to make him try different positions if we sign the Frenchy.
Woodburn would have got on. We needed a goal, he's an attacker.
"Already a massive difference in the DVP this season.
Craig Bellamy was the manager last season and we suffered badly in my opinion, well the results don't lie, they were pretty awful.
Andy Legg is the manager this season and in charge and runs the show full-time."
Absurd. Wonder what Bellers has done to upset him!!
Cracking result by Development side. Any info on game? Trialists involved, goalscorers?
Doesn't give him exclusives!
Jarred Harvey was manager last year and is manager this year. Bellamy is now taking the u18s where I believe we have a decent crop of youngsters.
Spence starting again for the u19s Iceland rematch. Ratcliffe and Sharif into the side. Reynolds and Bodenham out. It's going much better this time, we're only losing 0-1 at HT.
Hope City scout some of these Icelandic kids.
Of much more importance having now seen the highlight's has anyone (Gringo, TOBW) come up with a name for our trialist striker who scored both goals? As reported his second was a fine goal. Very pacey and well built, hard not to make a comparison with Ken. From the brief highlights a few other trialists appeared to have acquitted themselves well too.
I can't be too much use to you I'm afraid emjay. I can tell you that the trialist right back was not the French lad Attah who quite impressed me when I watched him against Crewe a fortnight ago and the number 11 looked quite like Osawe who scored the late winner in that match. There's some good close ups of the other trialists including the number nine who looked pretty good besides his goal, but I didn't recognise anyone - nice to see Mark Hudson on the touchline as well.
Having watched it again this morning, despite what the initial report said, it was the no 7 (right midfielder) who netted the first and the impressive looking number 9 the winner. Great effort by the number 10 of a worldy from his own half, it looked in all the way, their goalkeeper was certainly of that opinion! Let's hope some of these trialist have done enough for a few run outs to further impress. Pretty hard to make any judgement on one 90 min showing, let alone viewing 4 mins highlights of said game!
Highlights Coxe and Abbruzzese in action for Wales u21s vs a very impressive full strength Portugal.

Thanks - what a dive for the penalty!
Under 23s in action tonight at Cardiff City Stadium against Hull, kick off 7 pm.

Callum Paterson is in the team tonight the game tonight - there's also two trialists starting and another one on the bench.

Great news on Patterson. I must say I have almost forgotten about him and what he potentially brings to the team is very exciting. Will look forward with interest as to how he performs. Doubt he will get much more than an hour though, maybe even just 45 mins, but it is a big step and a boost to our already impressive looking squad.
