Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

and as I write that the swiss have taken the lead

Unfortunately it was from a bad mistake by City’s George Ratcliffe, Isaak Davies on now.

Wales drew and Ukraine won

Yeah, I saw that - 1-1 draw with Kazakhstan who had lost their first two games with a goal difference of minus 8.

Finished 1-0 to Switzerland with a bit of a grandstand finish by Wales in which they had a goal harshly disallowed, but overall, I don’t think they can have too many complaints about the outcome.

Also, an interesting article about some of the next lot of Academy youngsters coming through - seems Leeds offered six figure sums for Cian Ashford this summer.

A bit off topic I guess but Sion Spence got two goals tonight, including a late winner, as Bristol Rovers came back from 3-1 down in extra time to beat Oxford 4-3 in their FA Cup replay.

City under 18s 1-0 up at half time against QPR with the goal scored by Rhys Schwank as as they chase a fifth successive win - I say under 18s, but there’s a lot of players involved who were representing Wales at under 16 level last month. Looking at the team selected, it seems we can expect a fair under 18 regulars to be involved with the under 23s when they resume fixtures on Tuesday.

Would be a tragedy if a man with such a great name didn't make it at the club

He’s a consistent scorer for the under 18s - wouldn’t be surprised to see him get some game time for the under 23s this season.

Last goal scored by Mpadi (Rabbi Matondo’s brother) one of the Under 16 qualified players in the team - great win this when you consider they were without the likes of Crole, Hughes, Ashford and Wigley.

I was interested in the article last week about the new crop of youngsters. Would you say that was accurate? Any other names in the U18 to remember?

Kick off to today’s match at QPR delayed for fifteen minutes, so it’s a 1.45 start.

I don’t get to watch the under18s play since the onset of the pandemic, so I can’t say much really - James Crole scored a hat trick recently for the under 23s and is playing for them again today, while Cian Ashford is on the bench. Crew and Mpadi both started for the under 18s on Saturday despite having played for Wales under 16s last month (I think Crew may still be eligible for under16 football next year).
