The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

James Waite was back for the under-23s at QPR today and there were goals for Ciaron Brown and Jack Bodenham but they still lost 3-2. Hopefully that will shut up the idiot in this thread who keeps saying their results are going to improve soon.

Good to see Waite back - I suppose he may have been the young midfield player Warnock talked about a month ago. To repeat the mantra you hear from many youth coaches, it's about development of players not results at the levels below the first team. The Development team is not getting results, so no problem there apparently, but I believe that, at City anyway, it is not an environment in which you see players improving - more the opposite actually.

Another lopsided line-up yesterday, looked like Coxe and Martin out wide, but to be fair the spine of that team looks ok. Brown & Bodenham at the back, Duffus, Veale and Waite with Meite up front. There's some potential there, whether it gets realised or not is another matter, I accept that.
