A very old Under 23 side today at Burnley!

Good to see, Camp, Harris and Patterson playing after injury. Also to see Halford, Pilkington and Bogle getting a game.

Harris is not Kadeem. But yes, good to see the others continuing their road to full fitness.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Final score 4-0, Bogle, Pilkington and Harris with late goals for City - seems like the og has been given to Bogle as well now.

A 2-2 draw at Birmingham for the Academy this afternoon as they continue to draw their away matches and lose their home ones. The game was shown live on Birmingham's website, but I take it you had to become a subscriber to their version of IFollow to watch it.

Sam Bowen started for Wales Under 17s yesterday in their 2-0 defeat by Scotland, but it sounds like Isaak Davies made a good impression when he came on as a sub.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Forgot about this international. That report is encouraging on Isaak. Apparently Keenan Patten withdrew through injury. There were a few other withdrawals also. Two City players were added - Sams Bowen & Parsons. Taylor who played for them has played for Wales youth sides before but it looks like he may have chosen Scotland now. Wolves just pinched him off Aberdeen... Another Scotland - Wales game tomorrow, but I'm not hopeful of a link. Will post one if I can find one.

I do wonder what the lack of academy and DVP content on the Cardiff iplayer is about? We get these highlight vids which are very very short. But would that not take more labour to employ an editor to cut these vids together? So it about CCFC being jippos with the server space? Or are they perhaps protecting our youngsters from too much exposure too soon. If it's the latter, then fair enough. But if they are penny pinching then that's really annoying considering that other clubs are giving their subscribers full games and even live games.

The coverage of the sides we have below first team level is exactly the same on IFollow as it's been for years under the different names they've given schemes whereby you pay for video on the club's website - I'm used to it, so I think the coverage is certainly no worse than what I've watched on there for years. However, I'd say that the quality of coverage of and features on the first team is slightly worse on IFollow than it has been in the past - having just paid my increased subscription, I'd say IFollow is poorer value for someone like me who is a UK based City fan.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

The Development team are at home to Charlton this afternoon at Leckwith, ko 2pm. I would not expect it to be such an experienced side as last week today, but, unless you were up at Burnley watching the Under 23s last Monday, this should be a first chance to see Lee Camp in action for us and I'd have thought Callum Paterson would be involved again as well.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

A bit of a mixed bag this weekend for the younger age groups against Swansea this weekend. The u9s 10s and 12s lost and the u11s 13s and 14s won.

I don't recognise a few of the names in the Cardiff squad - maybe I'm just not paying attention, or have they signed a few out-of-contract trialists in recent times? Is Reynolds a new name? Also some of the bench players....?

My gripe is born out of jealousy. Ifollow is like for like with Player on the City front. I'm just envious of other clubs who have substantially more youth content than us, showing us is can be done. I'm sure the extra subscribers we could garner from this kind of content could offset the cost of producing it.

Cardiff DVP 2-1 up against Charlton after half an hour. Pilks scores from Veale's corner. Mark Harris made his own penalty.
