Is any of this with the intention to get to cat 1? Even eventually?

The last I heard is that it would be a Cat 1 academy in all but name.

No first teamers involved with the under 21s today.

Am I the only one watching this? 0-0 at half time and forget about efforts on target, I don’t think City have had a shot yet. My message to anyone not watching is an ancient comedian’s catchphrase (was it Arthur Askey?) - you lucky people!

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

OMG Xavier Benjamin has been outstanding the first half.
From his excellent distribution with a defence splitting pin point pass as a highlight to tracking back and cooly denying Watford an open goal after Collins had rounded our keeper only to stroke the ball into the net to score - Benjamin who had ten yards to make up raced past the Watford striker taking the ball from his feet and clearing.
Breathtaking to see especially his composure
First team football is surely inevitable for this young man and deservedly so - soon !!

Just turned on for the 2nd half so haven't suffered as yet

My question would be that why aren't Davies and Colwill getting game time to get minutes under their belt or is Colwill still tired after warming up for about an hour on Saturday

PS just saw a shot on target by leahy

More boring rubbish from a Cardiff team - 3-0 down to a Watford team which I believe only had three points going into today’s game.

I watched about 25 minutes of the 2nd half, same as the first team, no urgency , no threat going forward , ponderous passing without any intent of progress and basic errors at the back

Depressing stuff

They'd only scored 5 times in 12 matches before today too!

A genuine question, but did the promotion of Morison to 1st team manager have a bigger impact on our Under 21s than expected ??
They were top of their league and unbeaten until he moved up!! They declined so quickly in the 2nd half of last season once he moved up and now seem to be really struggling and on a poor run of results .
A lot on here, me included were hopeful that we had a good batch of youngsters ready to push for 1st team but that doesn't seem to have happened?

I understand that but it started declining last season ....

That was a different team to the one that started the season. Connolly, Zimba, Evans, Hughes, Patten and Sang were all loaned out in January. Isaak Davies promoted to the first team followed by Denham & King
