The first and second year scholars friendly against Chelsea yesterday ended in a 3-1 defeat but it was great experience for the youngsters
Today’s game for Wales u17’s v Belgium ended in a 1-0 win for the young Dragons with an assist for our very own JT
If they win their last game against Gibraltar they will top the group ⚽️🤩👍

Don’t recognise any of these names, I take it JT is Jac Thomas? How many City players are in the squad? That’s a very good result against Belgium.

There’s only two Cardiff City scholars in the squad JT (Jac Thomas) and Ronan
That’s why the behind closed doors game on Wednesday was such a boost for the lads overlooked by Wales
Cardiff dominated and won 3-1 🫢👍

Wales under 21s play their second game of this international break against group number one seeds Denmark at Rodney Parade this evening, kick off 6 pm - the game will be streamed on Sgorio’s You Tubechannel.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Well, this looks ominous, Wales cut apart in four minutes as Denmark take the lead. Eli King starting, Colwill on the bench and Tom Davies drops out because Owen Beck (who was caught out of position for the goal) comes in.

losing 1-0 half time

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

1-0 to Denmark at half time, they’re a big side and we’re struggling to match them physically, but we’ve had our moments and are well in the game when I thought we were going to be blown away after the early goal went in.Can’t say I’ve been over impressed by Luke Harris in the matches I’d seen him play up to now, but he’s doing well tonight. Eli King is doing a solid job in midfield.

And Colwill's replacement Cotterill gave the ball away cheaply for the goal as well!

I really like the look of Joe Low.
He seems so composed.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Finished 2-1 to Denmark. A goal right at the death sealed their win, but Cian Ashford, on as a late sub, scored with the last kick 9f the game after the keeper made a great save to keep out Colwill’s free kick.

Denmark are a good team but Wales weren't blown away the way I thought might've been early on. I think this is as promising an under 21 side as we've had for a while and a few of these will go on to play for the seniors (well 3 already have by my count)

Thought Wales played better tonight than they did in beating Iceland on Thursday. It looks a better than usual squad, but, like plenty of other current Welsh squads, it lacks a natural goalscorer. I think I’m right in saying that we’ve scored eight times in five matches with four of them coming from City number ten types and I believe Low has two of the others.

Just checked, Low only has one of the eight goals, the three in Lithuania were scored by Luke Harris, Fin Stevens and Cotterill, so none of the goals have come from a striker.
