4-1 FT. Another nice derby win.

A return to form for the under 18s after three matches without a win - goalscorers were Hughes, Ashford, Crole (pen) and Schwank.

Also, the under 23 match scheduled for Monday at Charlton has been called off, so City have played their last football it seems until Boxing Day at the earliest.

If anyone is missing watching City action, the highlights of the under 18s win over the wurzels on Saturday are on the club site including a very nice chipped goal by Caleb Hughes.

City's Under 23s begin the second half of their season after the Christmas break with a home match with Ipswich tomorrow which the club website is showing as an eleven o clock kick off. The team which began the season so well will have changed a lot with some players now in the first team squad and others out on loan, so it'll be like a fresh start for those who play tomorrow and that may mean a dip in results and performance levels - hopefully, tomorrows match will be streamed as per usual by the club.

Could we see the return of Bowen? Morison said something along the lines of him having to earn his place back in the senior squad (which seemed a little harsh considering he's been injured and had been performing well, but there we go)

makes sense to me, he only had a couple of appearances before his injury and while promising he wasn't guaranteed to play then.

You’d think so based on what was said by our manager on Friday. He’s been out for more than three months though and so I wouldn’t be surprised to see him on the bench and maybe playing for half an hour or forty five minutes.

Are they still top of the league, the u23 team?

Eleven points clear, the wurzels do have a couple of games in hand on us though.

Bowen starts for the Under 23s this morning, Colwill's brother on the bench.

can't work out the formation from that.
a lot of midfielders.

I guess Semenyo is injured?

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Looks like 6-3-1 to me.

or 3-6-1.
