Frayed knot;-

We'll have to make do with this report then.

I can't think of a 5-4 game that I've watched since the Plymouth cup tie in '86 so it would've been a rare occurrence for me. Maybe I'll be on here tomorrow night bumping this post after a 5-4 win against WBA? Maybe not.
To follow on from narrow wins for the Academy and first team this week, the under-23s won 3-2 at Palace yesterday having been 2-0 down after an hour and 2-1 down going into the final six minutes. Trystan Jones, Kieron Evans and Sion Spence with the goals.
A report off the Palace site here.

A 3-2 defeat at Bristol City for the Academy today having been 2-1 up with three minutes to go. Ryan Kavanagh with both our goals.
A few changes to the team today. No idea if this means that a couple of the lads will be playing for the under-23s at Millwall on Monday to cover selections to the first team for Tuesday but one notable absentee today was Ntazana Mayembe who, hopefully, will be getting a run out himself on Tuesday. With our three regular wingers all seemingly on the naughty step it would be a good time to impress, if he gets the chance.
A 3-0 defeat for the under-23s at Millwall today. Report and team here.

Coxe played but Bowen, Sang and Mayembe didn't. Our three loan signings are ineligible for the Reading game tomorrow and Neil Harris has said 'there may be a chance for a few younger lads to be involved' (he's such a tease) so the signs are there that we could be getting another chance to watch some youngsters warming up tomorrow. Let's not get ahead of ourselves and wish for more at this stage, it's the hope that kills you.
Tonight's under-23 game with Bristol City at the CCS was postponed and will now be played tomorrow at 19.00, unless you're reading this tomorrow in which case yesterday's game was postponed and will now be played tonight. If you're reading this on Wednesday then you've missed it.

A 2-2 draw for the Academy v second placed Watford today. Lacking a bit of fire power now with Kieron Evans and Ntazana Mayembe playing under-23s and Isaak Davies presumably injured, Ryan Kavanagh pulled out just before kick off today too. 2-0 down early in the second half so it was a creditable result. I only saw the first half, we were a bit loose early on and conceded a poor goal but came back into it and were on top by half time. Ligendza was leading the line manfully, Pinchard sprayed some nice passes around and the full backs were pushing on well. Rubin Colwill and Owen Pritchard got our goals.
I didn't see Neil Harris there today but Steve Morison was making his way in as I left at half time. I was slightly rattled by seeing him stand in a hailstorm on Tuesday night without his hood up and was rather hoping his mum would've been told and had a word with him about it. Obviously not, it was pouring with rain today but he didn't even have a coat on. He's a loose cannon that guy.
I was shocked to learn he made more appearances for Wales than Darcy Blake!
Dan Martin has gone on loan to Bath City, who are third in the National League South. He was previously on loan at Weston, who play in the league below, so it's a step up for Dan. He set up the second on his debut last night in a 2-0 win at Maidstone and impressed his new manager, who'd been tracking him for a while.
I was going to put up an interview with him from last night that I saw earlier but it seems to have disappeared. Maybe Bath weren't happy he was wearing a City top instead of a Bath one, I've no idea. Wasn't much there anyway, he was saying how he can play left back, left wing back and on the left side of a back three (get him) and how he'd played week in week out this season which has obviously helped his fitness and confidence.
He's still playing four levels below the Championship so there's no point in reading too much into his form this season but I've only seen good things said about him and with some signs here that our full back play might be moving into the 21st century then it could turn out he's in the right place at the right time in the near future.
2-2 draw for the Academy at Coventry today, Keiron Evans with both the goals.

Another goal for Isaak Davies today as a young under-23 side went down 2-1 at Charlton.
Joel Bagan has had his loan at Notts County extended to the end of the season, which is an interesting concept. He played in a 4-0 win over Eastleigh today, receiving a 7 on the player ratings with this summary.
'Another impressive display from the on-loan Cardiff defender. May still be a teenager but his maturity and understanding of the game is evident. Great news that he is here until the end of the season.'
A brief update on Joel Bagan's progress at Notts County here from manager Neal Ardley. He's urging us to give him time, maybe he's confusing us with a club who rush their youngsters through.

I've just come across this thread gathering dust in the attic, better use it before my missus throws it out.
Joel Bagan has been recalled by Notts County and is in the running for a place in the play off semi against Barnet this Saturday. The local paper wants to see him start.
https://www.nottinghampost.com/sport...d-pick-4351930
I noticed Barnet, who were eleventh in the National League table when fixtures stopped in March, were playing Yeovil in a Play Off match on Saturday and that was the first I knew about them taking place - I can remember hearing about relief at Macclesfield a few weeks ago because it had been confirmed they were staying up, but this means that they have been relegated doesn't it?
Hope Bagan plays - I'm guessing he will because I'm not sure Notts County would have recalled him if they weren't going to pick him.
No. Macclesfield are safe, Stevenage (and Bury) are gone.
I'd seen reports that Bagan had returned from his loan spell, he wasn't in the original squad for the play offs, but one of the Notts County players picked up an injury so they got permission to recall him as cover. I think they were surprised how fit he'd kept himself and he definitely seems to be in contention for a place on Saturday.
Macclesfield gone. Stevenage stay up
My mistake.
Stevenage were seven points adrift when Revell took over. He managed them for two games, lost them both and still kept them up. Hopefully he's demanding a pay rise now, he's a miracle worker.
Matt Hall, keeper we signed from Bangor, released today. Also Danny Williams signed on loan at Haverfordwest for 6 months. Williams is 20; is he likely to return?
The Under 23s are playing the first in a series of pre season matches today against Connahs Quay Nomads behind closed doors;-

Nomads are facing FK Sarajevo at CCS next week in a Champions League qualifier
New deals for Tom Sang and Mark Harris
https://www.cardiffcityfc.co.uk/news...sign-new-deals
The contract for Mark Harris surprises me - he's gone from being loaned out to League Two clubs to going to struggling for goals in a National League side that only just stayed up in recent seasons and seems further away from our first team than he was three years ago.
Perhaps he's the Ward replacement as 4th choice striker?
