Robbie Savage was sat in front of us and was a fair sport for folk wanting their pictures taken with him.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

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.

I don't think much of Josh Thomas who's played up front for most of the campaign. Joe Taylor who started last night has 7 goals and 2 assists this season for Colchester and has Championship and League 1 experience (believe he had a goal disallowed for Luton in the playoff final?). Then there's Popov who is a bit more imposing but only 19, think there was some fear he'd switch to Bulgaria

That’s the same score that Belgium beat Gilraltar? So, the whole group boiled down to that 91st minute goal we got against the Belgians didn’t it.

5-5! U21s v Charlton.
Kavanagh, Joel Colwill (2), Antwi & an OG. Ashford sent off near the end.

Highlights of this game now on the club website - disappointing that we twice had two goal leads and got hauled back. Ashford got a str4aight red card, so a three game ban for him if there's no appeal procedure - not sure any appeal would succeed anyway.

on the off chance that anyone on here was going to attend today's under 18s game with QPR at Leckwith, don't bother - it's been postponed.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Joel Colwill makes it 3-0 with another fine finish after City had spent large portions of the second half pinned back in their own penalty area. Swansea down to ten men after one of their players was shown a second yellow card.
