A win in midweek in the cursed orange kit and today a 4-2 victory for the U18s over Wigan, who were 11 points clear at the top of the northern section. A smart result.

Was that Colwill's brother on the bench?

Yes, involved for the first time with under 18s - Joel’s his name.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Cian Ashford is a name I've been keeping an eye on ever since I saw him come on and score a match winning goal for the Under 18s three seasons ago, but he has been missing from the team for months and I was beginning to think he'd been released or moved elsewhere. However, the sixteen year old is back for today's match at Crewe - turned out he had an operation following an ankle injury in December.

He was taken off at half time in his comeback match at Crewe last weekend and when he wasn’t in the squad for the match at Millwall in midweek, I was thinking he’d had a recurrence.

There was a Wales Online article recently saying that Ashford would be featuring for the under 23s next season.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

We should get a good idea as to whether we’ll see any youngsters in tomorrow’s squad from the Under 23 team selected for tonight’s game at Nottingham Forest - kick off is at 7, not sure if it’s being streamed or not.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Three trialists in the squad tonight, Tomlin plays and a first Under 23s appearance for Under 16 forward Cian Ashford.

Looks like Colwill will be the only youngster involved tomorrow.

That's' a lovely goal by Ashford who played the first hour of last night's 2-1 win at Forest and it looks like Tomlin played the ninety, so maybe there's a chance of seeing him in first team action in our last two matches of the season?

Keiron Evans and Isaak Davies got the goals - both of them deserve to have some first team football in the next couple of weeks or so.

The Under 18s. who have scored eight in winning their last two matches, are at Sheffield Wednesday this afternoon, kick off is at 2.

Danny Gabbidon agrees with you about Isaak Davies.

And if he really is ready, then there are two or three others who are as well.

Be great to see some of the kids get a chance.

Fingers crossed for Isaak Davies and the others to get the opportunity.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

The Under 23s play their final home game of the season today against Coventry. Kick off is at one o clock and Coventry's website is saying that the match will be played at Cardiff City Stadium. In some ways, it will be more interesting to see who isn't in the team rather than who is, because that may suggest who will be involved at Birmingham - on the other hand, with no midweek match for the seniors this week, I suppose it's just as likely that they'll go with the normal side and the game will be see as an opportunity for some to try and play themselves into Saturday's squad.

Also. news that a City player may be going to the Olympics.
