Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Wasn't Antwi badly concussed last game? Not sure of the protocols but not surprised if that meant he couldn't play today.

Although the team was more u18 than u21 wasn't it?

Oh yeah forgot about Antwi's concussion. Not sure if Crewe did the same thing by filling the team with u18s or if that was agreed beforehand, but it seemed to be a good argument against taking a punt on players released elsewhere simply to fill the u21s.

Colwill, Ashford, Crole and the rest from the u18s?

Colwill and Ashford are still U18, Pritchard is an U21

Antwi was kicked in the head in the air and was unconscious before he hit the ground
Unfortunately he landed awkwardly and damaged ligaments in both knees
He’ll be out for up to six months 🤕
The good news is he and Raheem Conte have both been given another year while Benjamin has been given another two years
Congratulations to Kyle Kenniford as well as he’s no longer a scholar as Cardiff have offered him a Pro Deal 👍

That's rotten luck for Antwi. Hopefully there's a plan for all three that will see them challenge for the firsts rather than hang around the u21s. Same goes for Kenniford; thought he looked useful.

I became more impressed with Antwi as the season went on and wish him a speedy recovery from what is a freak injury. Someone at the club clearly has a lot of time for Benjamin - must say I’ve not seen a great deal from him to merit a two year deal.

Congrats on your blog getting the recognition it deserves by the way Paul 👍
I concur with your observation regarding giving the youngsters game time at Burnley
We got stuffed regardless so giving the youngsters minutes would have been far more beneficial in the long run.
I’m sure Benjamin will be champing on the bit to show both the fans and Lamouchi what he’s all about
I can tell you he’s very quick and aggressive and is able to read the game extremely well
If the transfer market goes the way we all think it will then hopefully we’ll see him in the first team sooner rather than later.
The problem the youngster’s have had is lack of continuity
Warnock used to attend the U21 games and started to bring a few players through but the managerial chaos that ensued has only damaged the progress of the academy and u21 set up
Six managers I make it? Harris/McCarthy/Morison/Hudson/Whitehead/Lamouchi
Obviously it’s results based so why would you put your faith in a youngster as opposed to a seasoned professional like Ojo
That was tongue in cheek by the way
That bellend masqueraded as a footballer

So anyway we’ll see if Lamouchi is a “Yes man” by accepting an extension in the summer and just how tied his hands will remain a mystery

Oh the joys of being a Cardiff fan 😳🫣

Not sure. There's a YouTube video of him training from January 2021 that says he's 11, so must be 13 or 14.
