Agreed about the summariser and the 2nd half summarise was just as good

In terms of team again agree with keeper and dakari but also though Benjamin at centre half and the number 10 gave solid performances as well

Enjoyable watch and I thoughthe ref was unfussy as well and seem to have a good rapport with the players

Yes, I agree about both Jac Clay as second half summariser and also about Antwi (number 10), who has been increasingly effective as the season has gone on.

Wasn't able to catch the game but saw Semenyo played. Was he any good? With all the talk about Sang at RB and Campbell not being worth a go, it was forgotten we had someone who this time last year was given a taste of first team action - albeit for 2 minutes - at Liverpool. Presumably, if he was fairly close last year who should be even closer this time.

Semenyo played on the left and did well there - he suffered from cramp late on, it was something which illustrated how hard the team worked. I’d say that Semenyo is more a candidate to be loaned out than a first team contender though.

Didn�t Morison say as much in the summer about Semenyo?

2-1 to Oxford now. 2 goals in 2 minutes!

3-1 to Oxford, game over it seems.

3-1 FT - bit disappointing.

Yes, we’ve not done well in the Youth Cup lately.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

I've just watched the U21 game. A very good performance. The three schoolboys did well. Lewys Benjamin is impressive, he's the 1st 6ft+ goalkeeper we have had in our U18 academy for years. I can't believe he hasn't ever been selected by Wales at Schoolboy or U16 level.

Eli King really is a class apart. Antwi, Zimba, Leahy and Campbell are OK, but they are all 21 now and nowhere near the 1st team, Colwill, Denham (I hope he's back soon) and King are all younger. The three centre halves did well, but none of them appear to be tall enough for league football.

This is a group that should have done better. They are probably not the strongest at the back and would have missed Lawlor (who I presume is injured).

Growth spurts. Just saying!

I hope Denham is back soon. He's a good player. He should be even better now he's 6'7"
