The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Fulham win it two minutes into added time following a miscontrol by one of our players on the edge of the Fulham penalty area from a City corner when we were looking the more likely winners. A great effort by our youngsters in a game that was ten times more watchable than recent first team matches.

I agree Bob. Good game, City unlicky.
One or two players I wouldn't mind seeing in the 1st team.

Good game indeed, decent turnout too. Not much to add to what's been said here, Fulham were a good side but City worked very hard out of possession and always posed a threat going forward.

I hadn't seen Nyakuhwa before but I was impressed; pace, skill and good movement. Nice link-up with Matondo near the end when it looked like they were hemmed in around the half way line. Very promising.

Where was Beecher by the way? Are we reading anything into his absence or has he had a knock lately?

Nyakuhwa is someone who hasn’t impressed me much when I’ve seen him before, but I thought he was very good last night.

Beecher must be injured unfortunately, it’s a long time since he played for the under 21s and I’ve not seen his name in the under 18 sides on Twitter lately either.

Good goal to be fair. I wish the commentator would shut up, constantly tempting fate

I don't mind him normally, but I agree that talking about a possible giant killing win with more than half an hour left was asking for trouble. Also, I disagree with Maurice about the "drippy" co commentator, he was an Academy player by the name of Cole Fleming who has been out injured for most of the season - I thought he spoke well and made some good points in a role he must have had no previous experience of.

Great form, please God, a few of the lads kick on, catch the eye and make the step up. God knows we need some young blood, our own young blood at that.

Interesting to see if the bloke recently appointed to make that happen makes a difference.

I suppose there's a chance it might be frozen off, but City's under 21s are due to play Watford at Leckwith today (kick off 2 o clock) - I assume it'll be streamed if the game goes ahead.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

League tables up to date to Christmas for the under 18s and under 21s, the under 18s have played, and won, a game since then (as have Watford, while the wurzels have lost a game)
