Some thins never change, Swansea score two headers (one from a corner) and we score the “footballing” goals. Thought Ashford looked bright even without his goal, which was neatly taken and showed a good turn of pace, in those highlights and that was a lovely, clean strike by Sawyers.

Nice strike, yes, and it was nice of the Swansea players to get out the way so Sawyers had a clear shot at goal. Not much point in doing the swim away, like their guy did after the first goal, if you're all going to do the run away when you think the ball might hit you.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

I saw Fulham had drawn Swansea in the next round of the Youth Cup which was a bit frustrating as that would've been winnable for us - with a trip to Liverpool or Arsenal in the next round if we'd progressed. Just checked to see how that went and Fulham won 5-0. It was played on Wednesday so Swansea went out of the junior and senior FA Cups 5-0 on successive nights. Shit happens.

I'm missing something with the Youth Cup. Liverpool sneaked past Fleetwood then beat Arsenal 7-1. Man Utd lost 2-0 to Swindon, which seems bizarre. No Biancheri for United but Charlie Crew has been playing for Leeds, who are through to the 5th round.

Quick update on the FA Youth Cup for no particular reason, I probably should get out more.

Charlie Crew's Leeds beat Liverpool to make the semi-finals where they will play Millwall, who somehow beat Chelsea. In the other semi, Man City will play Bristol City.

Both Bristol City and Millwall are in our league at that level, we've done the double over Bristol and beaten Millwall in our only game with them this season so it's a bit frustrating we didn't go further ourselves.

Proof that we're doing something right I suppose, but it's scandalous that these PL clubs can just nick players for peanuts

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

There are very reasonable complaints to make of our inability to bring through young players, but that's what 4 in the past year or so that have been poached? They'll obviously be the better players in the age group so hardly a surprise that we don't see youngsters bursting through

No doubt Pep will be purring like the cat that got the cream.
