I usually post my reports on games below first team level in the Development and Academy teams thread, but I thought the under 18s display yesterday deserved a thread of its own - in a season where there have been so few things for a City fan to get excited about, it was great to see our kids play so well.

Yes far too much off the ball movement for the city! Ha.
Barry top of the league again with the same style of young players playing on the floor quickly.
TNS and connahs quay the 2 full time teams will take over again later in the season but barry well set for top 3.
Colwyn bay are hoping for promotion and Merthyr talking seriously of joining. Even murmurs amongst disillusioned Wrexham fans but I can’t see that.
Sad to see Wrexham struggling in the National League. Time to get rid their manger perhaps? They are definitely a league two or even a league one team. Plenty of ex league teams that have been demoted to National League seem to get back into the football league pyramid after a season or two out. Wrexham just seem to have slowly gone down and down since being demoted ten seasons ago.
Thanks for that, it was a terrific game. You're right about the significance of Leeds not pressing, it was an odd tactic. It will be interesting to see how some of our youngsters cope when they're not given time on the ball like they were yesterday. A very positive performance though.
Only one downside, it was a shame you saw fit to sing 'we all hate Leeds scum' at the top of your voice for the whole of the second half. Slightly inappropriate for an under-18s game I felt.
I’ve always wondered what the difference is, between a normal mile, and a country mile? 😁
Nice read that Bob. Out of curiosity, with Bellamy now having moved onto pastures new who is responsible for coaching the U18's this season? Don't tell me it's our injured centre back who is also acting as an assistant coach at U23 level!! Wonder if he assists our groundsman in his spare time too?
Confirmation that Matthew Bloxham is in charge of the under 18s.
