A Development team featuring Lee Camp and recent signings Brown and Obi was beaten 1-0 at Watford this afternoon - Paul McKay had also graduated from "Trialist" to McKay on the club's Twitter feed, so I assume he has signed for us as well now - nos. seven, eight and nine were all called Trialist today.
The under-23s won 1-0 at Coventry today, Ibrahim Meite with the goal. Rhys Healey and Lee Camp played too.
Is Paul McKay the young lad who played once for Leeds?
Think the u18s beat the wurzels away 1-0 a couple of days ago too.
Thanks. Here's the under-23s report. Lloyd Humphries is back playing.

Lunchtime football at Cardiff City Stadium today as the Under 23s take on Watford in a Premier Cup game - kick off is at 1 o clock and admission is free.
If anyone was planning on going today's match they should note that it has been "put forward" (???) to 1.15 - the previous tweet confirmed the original kick off time of 1 o clock.
Obi with his first goal for the club. 1 nil 75th min.
Decent game I thought, no great quality but very competitive. Obi took his goal well, looks quick and skilful. I'm not sure if he can pass yet, maybe we'll find that out another day. Meite missed a couple of chances in the first half but we played better as the game went on and should've finished the game off before Watford equalised with one of their few shots on goal. The ref let them take a quick free kick yards from where the foul took place and they scored from the resulting break.
No stand-out performers for us but everyone did ok. I haven't seen an attendance figure given but my gut feeling was that it was down from Sunday.
My take on yesterday's game.

The Development team beat QPR 3-2 at Leckwith this afternoon, but they came very close to continuing their habit of throwing away leads as they decided to down tools after they were 3-0 up at half time thanks to goals by the Harris' - Mark scored two with the second one being a penalty and Kadeem got the other one. QPR's goals were scored by a certain Jay Emmanuel-Thomas who is even less mobile now than he was when he was with us, but, just like then, there were the occasional moments of class from him, including the best goal of the game when curled a shot in from twenty five yards - his other goal was a penalty.
