Yeah, great to see bet he is buzzing. Hopefully he'll get a good 45 mins in. Are you going tonight? Would be good to get some insight into your thought on the trialists involved.

2 Nil to Hull after 34 minutes.
Byrne, Duffus, Abbruzzese, Veale (C), Trialist, Young, Paterson, Waite, Trialist, Harris, Coxe.
Spence on for Paterson at HT
Reynolds on for Young
City Twitter account saying the Harris is playing well on the left. I'm presuming that's Mark not Kareem.
And he scores!! 1-2.Originally Posted by Blue in the Face
The team sheet at the ground listed the trialists as Ciaron Brown

and Jahvan Davidson-Miller.

There was also a player on the bench called Thomas Gaydu but he didn't get on.

Whole team struggled first half and we set up both of their goals with poor clearances. Paterson understandably rusty. Did a lot better in the second half. Neither trialist really shone but I thought they did okay in general.
I thought the striker had something about him but the service and support he got was terrible. Should've scored with a header but, until Harris started taking up some good positions late on, he was pretty isolated.
Definitely a struggle first half, no one looked comfortable with three at the back. The first goal was a mess and we got opened up time and time again. Paterson was, erm, work in progress and his presence meant Coxe had to play on the left and Abbruzzese in midfield which didn't do either any favours. An improvement second half as you and CS said, we played some good stuff. Waite and Spence are talented lads and always good to watch although Waite tired a bit towards the end.
I'm not sure what Paterson's build will be when he's match fit but he's a unit for now. Looks like him and Mendez-Laing could be a very powerful combination up the right.
Good work fella. So Jahvan must've been the striker who scored the second in the previous development game. Belper Town eh!!
The trialist (Gaydu) who didn't get on was previously under contract with Inter Milan! Didn't seem much point in having him on the bench if they weren't going to bring him on.
The performance and formation in the first half I thought was shambolic but they switched to a more orthodox 442 in the second half and were much improved.
I was with my little lad so I had to leave at half time!
It wasn't great up until then.
There was one occasion in the first half in particular which disappointed me. Harris was on the left and he had the defender one on one with nobody else within twenty yards of them. Harris is a strong lad and fairly quick and I thought go on lad do him, but he cut inside then reset the play and the chance was lost.
I sometimes think, what's the worst thing that can happen if he loses the ball trying to beat the man there?
Are Hull gonna turn over the ball and cut through us like butter to score within 10 seconds?
I think the more likely scenario is that Hull will win the ball and end up pumping it up the line anyway!
These players have got to be a bit more brave in my opinion. I'm sure Warnock won't be looking at Mark Harris ball retention stats today but if Harris scored 2 or 3 goal he make sit up and take notice.
As for Patterson,he was always gonna lack sharpness after such a long lay off. There was one cross field ball that caught the eye but I'm sure there's far more to come from him.
My take on last night's slightly bizarre game.

Pity there isn't substantial DVP content on ifollow. I gather there is for other championship clubs?
Only just got round to reading this. This is a particularly great write up. Really useful hyperlinks for the trialists. Love the screenplay bit in the middle. You're right, the delegating of Paterson, Coxe and Abbruzzese didn't make too much sense. Paterson can play pretty much anywhere, if he was fit, then he might've gone into midfield. Coxe has been playing right wing hasn't he of late. But perhaps it's good we slap a bit of Ajax ethos on the youngsters from time to time? Even if the team malfunctions. I could see why Rhys might benefit from advancing the technical parts of his game. He does look a decent ball winner and a natural left back, but maybe isn't where Declan John was in terms of on the ball skills. Declan might be a good yardstick for him.
Encouraging second half perhaps. Some younger lads stepping up. Glad we picked up the movie star from Everton. We've kicked two of theirs this summer. As an aside, the latest Welsh 17 squad is loaded with Evertonians, once again, so they've obviously been scouting Wales heavily for a few years now, albeit perhaps concentrated in the North.

Jamie Bird has signed for Hereford. Hopefully it works out for him...

Good to see, Camp, Harris and Patterson playing after injury. Also to see Halford, Pilkington and Bogle getting a game.
Harris is not Kadeem. But yes, good to see the others continuing their road to full fitness.
1 nil up o.g.
Final score 4-0, Bogle, Pilkington and Harris with late goals for City - seems like the og has been given to Bogle as well now.

A 2-2 draw at Birmingham for the Academy this afternoon as they continue to draw their away matches and lose their home ones. The game was shown live on Birmingham's website, but I take it you had to become a subscriber to their version of IFollow to watch it.

Sam Bowen started for Wales Under 17s yesterday in their 2-0 defeat by Scotland, but it sounds like Isaak Davies made a good impression when he came on as a sub.
http://www.faw.cymru/en/news/wales-u...inst-scotland/
Forgot about this international. That report is encouraging on Isaak. Apparently Keenan Patten withdrew through injury. There were a few other withdrawals also. Two City players were added - Sams Bowen & Parsons. Taylor who played for them has played for Wales youth sides before but it looks like he may have chosen Scotland now. Wolves just pinched him off Aberdeen... Another Scotland - Wales game tomorrow, but I'm not hopeful of a link. Will post one if I can find one.
I do wonder what the lack of academy and DVP content on the Cardiff iplayer is about? We get these highlight vids which are very very short. But would that not take more labour to employ an editor to cut these vids together? So it about CCFC being jippos with the server space? Or are they perhaps protecting our youngsters from too much exposure too soon. If it's the latter, then fair enough. But if they are penny pinching then that's really annoying considering that other clubs are giving their subscribers full games and even live games.
The coverage of the sides we have below first team level is exactly the same on IFollow as it's been for years under the different names they've given schemes whereby you pay for video on the club's website - I'm used to it, so I think the coverage is certainly no worse than what I've watched on there for years. However, I'd say that the quality of coverage of and features on the first team is slightly worse on IFollow than it has been in the past - having just paid my increased subscription, I'd say IFollow is poorer value for someone like me who is a UK based City fan.
The Development team are at home to Charlton this afternoon at Leckwith, ko 2pm. I would not expect it to be such an experienced side as last week today, but, unless you were up at Burnley watching the Under 23s last Monday, this should be a first chance to see Lee Camp in action for us and I'd have thought Callum Paterson would be involved again as well.
I would like to say thank you for putting all this content up here. It's great to be able to come to one place., to check the age grade progress.Thank you.
A bit of a mixed bag this weekend for the younger age groups against Swansea this weekend. The u9s 10s and 12s lost and the u11s 13s and 14s won.
Camp, Paterson and Pilkington all starting today.
