Yes Birdman
It’s a typical City conundrum
Not only was he released last Friday but they played Tavio today and made him Captain
I’m not sure how I’d feel about that??
It was definitely his last game today tho

Think we were on top for a bit longer in the second half, but it was a good competitive game.

Ashford seemed to give us a bit more energy when he came on

I remember Dave Jones releasing a bunch of youngsters then on the Saturday only being able to name four players for the first team bench and many asked why not use of one of the kids, and he replied, quite reasonably, that would just be messing a lad around and if it was one of his kids he'd be ringing the manager to ask what was going on.

But maybe it's a bit different at U23 level and Tavio was expected to see out his contract much in the way of Vaulks and Flint etc. Be professional and do the job, and to be fair, he was and did. Or perhaps he asked to be involved for one last time. Good luck to the lad, he got a first team appearance for his troubles which is more than most.

He did. Played well yesterday from what I saw.

yes one of our best players I thought, in a position we don't have much cover.
I would have been happy to see him as a backup to Wintle, but who knows who they're going to bring in.

if anything he can be a bit passive perhaps rather than grabbing the game by the scruff of the neck.

I think we're only at the word of mouth stage at the moment.

Wales Online reporting that the trialists for the Crewe game were goalie James Pardington from Wolves, defender Fionn O'Brien from Coventry and the winger from Brighton, Qureshi.

He’s played the odd game for the Under 18s and scored once I believe, but I would guess that he’s only something like fourteen or fifteen.

How does it work at that age? Do we get nothing if a player moves?

A tribunal maybe? I think Harvey Elliott joined Liverpool at 16 and I think Biancheri is a similar age

It happened with Matondo; didn't we get about half a million? Then they sold him to Schalke for £11M
