    Our under-21s' 2-2 draw at Birmingham here including some rare footage of a City player calmly converting a penalty.

    Worth a watch this. Joel Colwill looking busy but may want to work on his finishing. Our trialist keeper makes a great penalty save but may want to work on his passing. Ashford looking sharp.

      Nice, calm finish by Ashford in the incident that led to our penalty and if Colwill was able to vring the same urgency to the first team midfield, it would make such a difference.

      Birmingham’s penalty looked a very soft one.

        Yes, it gives defences something to worry about when players drive from midfield like that.

        No Luey Giles there which hopefully means he's with the first team squad rather than being injured. Jac Thomas played in that game on the Monday night then started for the under-18s at 1.00 the next day. Kids eh?

          Will be interesting to see who's not in the team for the u21s match tomorrow afternoon with all the first team players out.

            Definitely, it'll give us a good idea of how stretched we really are for the Southampton game. The under 18s play on Saturday too, all three teams could be struggling for numbers this weekend.

                No Giles either, I suppose we could play Rallsthere if Collins misses out, but he’s probably going to be needed in midfield.

                  Giles missed Monday as well. Maybe also injured.

                    Lawlor went to QPR last Saturday, hopefully he makes the matchday squad this time as we're fecked if Phillips/Goutas go down

                    If Giles is injured I'd have thought Beecher would have been held back to cover left back if Collins doesn't make it considering he's played in the cup this season

                      Beecher’s missed months of this season and has only been back playing for a couple of weeks or so.

                      As for Lawlor, Bulut had the option of Ng and Collins as centre backs last week, looks like he won’t have either of them tomorrow.

                        Went 1-0 down but won 3-1. Cook, Nyakuhwa and Johnson with the goals.

                          I don't think that Beecher is a left back, maybe a wing back and certainly a left winger. He reminds me of O'Dowda

                          Giles has got to be the next cab off the rank at left back.

                            I hope to goodness that Bulut's one foray into playing kids does not manifest in giving debuts to Antwi and Conte. It would be a kick in the teeth for all who work for the academy.

                            They are not even the best options.

                              I hope not, Joe Crole is another option (not at left back though) as someone not involved in todays U21 game and for full back, Will Spiers

                                I'm surprised Conte has been in first team squads tbh, never been hugely impressed by him when I've watched the u21s, especially considering he's generally a couple of years older than the rest of the team

                                Hopefully he does well if he comes on tomorrow though. Aren't he & Antwi's contracts up this summer?
