Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

No Ashford or Crole in the team today, I think maybe one or both of them are with the first team squad for tomorrow. If I’m wrong, their absence would seem to indicate that they’re considered part of the under 23 squad now.

1-1 at the moment, the jacks scored after five minutes and Isaac Jefferies equalised with a penalty six minutes later.

2-1sin for the jacks.

a very young side.

Denham and king presumably resting rather than staying with the first team.

1-0 to QPR, header from a free kick which I didn't think was a foul, but the visitors have been the better side. A lot to do with the fact that their starting line up has no under 18 players whereas we have five, they're quite a bit bigger than us and we have not looked like doing anything going forward so far.

Too strong, could tell the difference in age group.

Agreed, I wonder how much players learn in circumstances like that, but the people making the decisions know more about that then I'll ever know. Presumably James Crole was injured?

Not sure they would learn much from today as it was a scrappy, bitty game I thought. Ref wasnt letting the game flow either, I hate it when refs went to stop the game and chat through their decisions. Get on with it.

Thought Colwills brother looked good first half when he got the ball but didnt see him second half as we had less ball.

Not sure what formation we were playing tbh, especially as we made changes.

I thought it might have been just me with the ref, most of them are pretty good in these games I think - they tend to let the game flow in the manner you talk of.

Thought fifteen year old Charlie Crewe who came on at half time looked a good prospect - he made a few mistakes, but kept on showing for the ball and I was impressed by Luthra the keeper.

Was he only 15? Yes, nice on the ball.

Very good.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Crazy first half in today’s Academy game, we’re fielding a strong looking team and went 2-0 up early on through Jac Clay and James Crole, but Wigan then scored four to go in at the break two goals clear, Crole then scored straight away after the break, but things have quietened down now with no more goals with about ten minutes to go.
