4-3 to Hull, we’ve been second best for about thirty five minutes.

Finished 4-3, Hull kept the ball better than us and deserved to win, but City played some really nice stuff at times.Comment

1. Bulut has to justify signing Siopis on ab3 yr dealOriginally posted by Sparticus_Mills View Post
2. Wintle ... I have nothing
Eli King would also be a step up from those two and in an ideal world, apart from Centre forward, it is the area we need to improve the most.Comment

I agree. He looks streets ahead of many of our established central midfielders.Originally posted by Sparticus_Mills View PostComment

Crew played in a 4-0 defeat for Leeds tonight. He's been voted their under-21 player of the season which is pretty impressive considering he's not 18 until next month. The future looks bright for him.Originally posted by Loramski View PostComment

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
A 3-1 win for the u-18s at Crewe today. Osian Rees with two and Mannie Barton, a 16-year-old who seems to have had a strong finish to the season, with the other.
Feels like a very good season at that level. A few rogue results in there but overall it's been impressive, especially with so many of the stronger players moving up to play for the u-21s throughout the campaign. Beecher and Giles have got some pitch time for the first team, Lawlor, Twose and Mafico have made the bench. It's encouraging, let's hope these lads continue to make progress here.Comment

Highlights of and a feature on Friday's under 15s win are now on the club website - I didn't know that the former Sheffield Wednesday defender Reda Johnson was employed as a youth coach by City.Comment

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Louis Phillips is, apparently, on trial at Charlton. Which suggests he's not being retained.
He's had a very good season and clearly has talent. Suffers from being a little small and probably for being exactly the same type and style of player as Josh Beecher who is clearly highly rated and is the same age.Comment

Hope it's a successful trial for him if he's being released.Originally posted by AdrianAlston View PostComment

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
I only saw him play once, he scored two goals and (I think) got an assist but you've summed his situation up well there. The bar is pretty high this season, he won't be the only good player to be released. Hope he finds himself a club and goes on to do well for himself.Originally posted by AdrianAlston View Post
Highlights of the u-18s win at Crewe on Saturday here. Osian Rees is another one who's a bit vertically challenged but this isn't the first free-kick he's put away this season.
Also, highlights of the u-21s defeat to Hull last week for anyone who missed it. From the sublime to the ridiculous here. Our third goal is excellent, Ronan Kpakio looks like a real prospect, but our first goal and their third beggar belief.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
The finals of the under-17s Euros start in Cyprus on Monday. Jake Davies, Jac Thomas and Ronan Kpakio are in the Welsh squad.
I don't know who the strongest teams are at that level but playing Denmark, Austria and Croatia doesn't feel like the group of death for Wales although it'll be tough out there I'm sure. Odd tournament; no Germany, Holland or Belgium involved and England, France, Spain and Portugal are all in the same group.
Wales first game is against Denmark at 4.00 on Monday afternoon.Comment

A bump for this post, hopefully the game will be streamed on the Welsh FA or Scorpio's You Tube site.Originally posted by Loramski View Post
Didn't Wales beat Croatia in their qualifying group or am I imagining it? Sure we beat them in Croatia in one of those qualification mini tournaments recently.Comment

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
We beat them in a qualifying game in October 22 but it was a different squad then. Kpakio was on the bench but Armstrong, Giles, Lawlor and Perrett were in the team with Mafico, Debono and Twose also on the bench. Crew played but Biancheri was suspended.Originally posted by the other bob wilson View PostComment
