"Already a massive difference in the DVP this season.

Craig Bellamy was the manager last season and we suffered badly in my opinion, well the results don't lie, they were pretty awful.

Andy Legg is the manager this season and in charge and runs the show full-time."

With nine eligible squad members away on international duty, City's Development team have five trialists in their squad for this afternoon's game at Huddersfield - ko 1 pm.

Any idea who any of the triallists were?

Absurd. Wonder what Bellers has done to upset him!!

Cracking result by Development side. Any info on game? Trialists involved, goalscorers?

Wasn't Bellers just "player development manager". Was he actually managing the DVP side at any stage?

Also, isn't Jarred Harvey co-manager as well this year? I'm not quite sure of Legg's role?

Assuming they are still on trial with us, two could be David Attah (LW) and Ufumwen Osawe (RB). Here's TOBW's report from the previous game. Encouraging read on Osawe...

Jarred Harvey was manager last year and is manager this year. Bellamy is now taking the u18s where I believe we have a decent crop of youngsters.

Spence starting again for the u19s Iceland rematch. Ratcliffe and Sharif into the side. Reynolds and Bodenham out. It's going much better this time, we're only losing 0-1 at HT.

Hope City scout some of these Icelandic kids.

Doood. I made the same silly comment on another board. I don't think Woodburn would've got on if Ledley and Allen were available. So thank goodness they weren't. I cannot stop watching that goal. One of my favorite moments watching football.

Woodburn would have got on. We needed a goal, he's an attacker.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Of much more importance having now seen the highlight's has anyone (Gringo, TOBW) come up with a name for our trialist striker who scored both goals? As reported his second was a fine goal. Very pacey and well built, hard not to make a comparison with Ken. From the brief highlights a few other trialists appeared to have acquitted themselves well too.

I can't be too much use to you I'm afraid emjay. I can tell you that the trialist right back was not the French lad Attah who quite impressed me when I watched him against Crewe a fortnight ago and the number 11 looked quite like Osawe who scored the late winner in that match. There's some good close ups of the other trialists including the number nine who looked pretty good besides his goal, but I didn't recognise anyone - nice to see Mark Hudson on the touchline as well.

Having watched it again this morning, despite what the initial report said, it was the no 7 (right midfielder) who netted the first and the impressive looking number 9 the winner. Great effort by the number 10 of a worldy from his own half, it looked in all the way, their goalkeeper was certainly of that opinion! Let's hope some of these trialist have done enough for a few run outs to further impress. Pretty hard to make any judgement on one 90 min showing, let alone viewing 4 mins highlights of said game!
