Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Coxe offered a new contract Report from the BBC. But I wonder if that confirms many of his peers may be let go?

Harris and Coxe in action later in the second game vs Georgia, though I'm expecting Coxe to make way for Swansea's Aaron Lewis. There will be streams available I'm sure. This link may work...

Jarrad Welch scored (another) good goal yesterday in a man of the match performance for Weston. I never saw him play here but I remember you saying you rated him. I know Des Parrot was impressed with him at Cinderford last season and said he'd had a trial at Bournemouth. He seemed to leave here under a cloud but he's establishing himself at non-league level now, I wonder if a bigger club will come in for him in the close season.

Welch has signed a new contract at Weston. The word maverick pops up here but he seems to have made a good impression, it'll be interesting to see how his career pans out.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Only 7 trialists in our u-23 squad to play Wealdstone tonight; Price, Martin, Summer, Teveres, Kennedy, Clarke and Burrows. O'Keefe and Bogle get another run out.

Finished up 3-0 to Wealdstone - I think Ciaron Brown may have scored an own goal against his former club.

First Development team game of the season tonight - away at Burnley, hope it's not a case of spot the Cardiff contracted player again this season.

Very good performance by the Under 18s to beat Colchester 5-0 on Saturday. They are at home again on Saturday to Birmingham - the club website is saying it's an 11 o clock kick off at Leckwith, so there's a chance to watch the first half before going over the road to the Newcastle match.

A City squad which includes four trialists are 2-0 down at Burnley at half time - the goals came early on and it reads like one way traffic on the Twitter feed. Matej Vydra, who scored the second goal, Ben Gibson and Tom Heaton all started for the home team.

3-1 now, Brayden Shaw with our goal.

An encouraging start (and a standing ovation) for Mark Harris at Newport. A good interview with him here.

Finished up 4-1, too early to draw firm conclusions yet, but I've got a bad feeling about Under 23 matches this season - Mark Harris is, almost certainly, best out of it. Thanks for posting that link, I think it's a good move for him.

It's not promising is it? With Harris gone we don't seem to have a striker now, until someone can find Meite. No left back or left sided midfielder either but plenty of centre halves and central midfielders (Duffus, Humphries and Waite were all missing last night to add to what we've got there).

To be fair, the two lads we had on trial last night, Burrows and Sumner, seem to be teenagers on the way up rather than 20-year-olds who've already been rejected elsewhere but it looks like it could be more of the same at that level this season. Why doesn't Warnock give the fringe players or new signings games like Burnley did last night? Seems odd to me.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

A brief look back at Monday's game from Andy Legg and Jack Bodenham here. Seems like we picked up a couple of injuries, maybe it'll give us the chance to have a look at a couple of trialists next week?

Don't know those two names, but I found a tweet which names them (along with Elvis) as subs so it's presumably from the game at Taffs Well (someone replied saying that "Burrows" should read Borrows)?

Someone posted something on my blog over the weekend saying
"I have heard that Cardiff City are trialing two out of contract Senegalese players this week, with the view to possibly signing both.

The two players are Lacina Traore (striker) and Jules Iloki (right-winger)."

Maybe they were involved as well?

Here's the team from Monday. Haven't seen this site before, could be useful for us this season.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Mark Harris scored his first goal for Newport today, a late equaliser having come on as a sub.

Also, DVP old boy Danny Johnson scored for Motherwell, the only goal in a League Cup win at Livingston.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

I'm sure the club website were saying that tomorrow's Development team match against Barnsley was a 7 o clock kick off at Cardiff City Stadium, but now it's down as a 1 o clock kick off at Leckwith, with the Barnsley website agreeing about the venue, but saying kick off is an hour later - see what they're saying tomorrow I suppose .
