The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Same system as the first team, not many other similarities though. Terrific second half, I agree.

The pressing game was very similar and I thought we were more direct in the first half.

I wonder if McWilliams has earned himself the unused substitutes spot this week.
Idowu can't be far off either.

Think we may see Colwill there again tomorrow.

It was more of a comparison with Saturday really. I wonder how long us and Boro would've had to play for it to finish 5-4? When Malky lost to Charlton by that score he went into his shell and still hasn't come out of it, I trust Morison won't do the same.

Ben Margetson going on loan to Sutton United, currently 3rd in the National League, for the rest of the season.

That didn't work out, he's back already. They're flying for now so perhaps it's understandable he couldn't break in there.

A couple of early goals in the Academy's game at Charlton today. Ryan Kavanagh put us 1-0 up after two minutes and the home side equalised on eleven minutes - it's half time now and it's still 1-1.

Charlton win it 2-1 with a late goal.

Hoilett, Williams, Smithies, Watters, Harris and Tomlin all start.

Bit disappointed with that, would rather watch the youngsters play. I always wonder about the attitude of senior players in games like this.

Is there was a limit of 3 overage players (excluding goalkeeper) allowed in an u23 line up?

That was the rule when it switched from under 21 to under 23 nearly ten years ago, I’d suspect it still applies.

Surely, Watters and Harris qualify for U-23s.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

With only three outfield subs named, it means some of the seniors will play the full ninety minutes. I wonder if Hoilett is going to play left wing back?

Yes they do.

I hope Martin gets a chance to show what he can do there.
