Is today’s game being streamed? I can remember watching a stream of us coming back from 3-0 down to get a draw at the wurzels training ground a couple of years ago.

Doesn't look like it is.

1-0 up at HT. Well taken goal by Ashford. Scrappy game with few chances. I don't think the conditions are helping. Colwill's been busy, Luthra made one good save. Johnson looks good, quick and involved at both ends.

2-1 now. Bristol equalised with a slightly deflected long range strike but a fantastic solo effort from Ashford to restore the lead.

Thanks, look forward to seeing that second goal by Ashford.

Decent 2nd half. Nice to see players in a Bluebirds shirt attacking at pace.

That’s why Bulut wanted Ashford and Joel Colwill out of the first team squad as soon as possible

It does make you wonder doesn't it, when other teams trust their youngsters.....

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

At a Q&A session at CCS early in the season Erol Bulut made no bones about the fact that he had taken the job at Cardiff City because he wanted to make a name for himself and get on in English football management. If that's his motivation then short termism may well be the reason behind his signing players and team selection. With Ashford and Colwill Minor now sent back to the U21s am I being overly concerned ?

Cracking win that considering I think they had some first teamers in their side. Cracking goal from Ashford, I'd have him in the first team squad right now. Also, two very good saves from Luthra

I would too. Both goals were good, but especially the 2nd one.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

I was just looking at the club team pages to check shirt numbers (after Horvath wore a number 12 shirt at The Hawthornes in solidarity with Daryl Dike - wanted to double check he has taken the No 1 shirt).

I notice the first team pages have been revised again and have now got three u21s included: Luthra (28), Turner (41) who have both been showing for a while, and now Raheem Conte (36) as well.

Conte wasn't there last time I looked (last week). Joel Colwill isn't there either (I think he was for a while) nor any other u21s like Ashford who have already appeared on the bench.

Does that mean Conte is seen as a first team midfield option for the rest of the season - or is it just a random edit. If it is deliberate, what do regular u21 watchers think? I only ever see them in highlight packages so don't have much to go on.
