Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Hopefully Reindorf will be involved somewhere along the line against Bristol Rovers in the League Cup - it’s beginning to sound as if he’s too good for under 21 level already and I wonder if we might see him loaned out before the window closes or, failing that, he may be loaned to a National League side, where the window doesn’t apply, sometime in the autumn.

He was on loan at Kettering last season and they play in the Southern League Premier Division Central. There's obviously a bit of a backstory here but if there's been an attitude or fitness problem with him in the past then there was no sign of it last night. I've only seen him the once so I won't get too carried away yet but I'll be interested to see what you and others make of him when the league games start up.

That's how it finished. Another goal for Reindorf, Wigley with the other.

Kpakio, Tom Davies, Ashford and Kieron Evans all started. Giles and Beecher started on the bench, we're covered for left backs at that level.

City's first under 21 league game of the season this lunchtime with Sheffield Wednesday visiting Cardiff City Stadium for a midday kick off - free entry to anyone who wants to go along, but I can't find any confirmation yet that the match will be streamed.

Wonder if we'll try and sort a loan for Ashford, isn't really an obvious route for him into the team at the moment

I think he’ll be in the squad for the Second Round game if fit. Bulut did say last season that Ashford would be part of the first team squad in 24/25, but I suppose it could happen now depending on whether he gets fit before the window closes and who else we bring in the next few weeks.

1-0 to Wednesday at half time, they scored early could have had a few more but for some good saves. We improved a bit as the half went on, but we can count ourselves lucky to be just the one goal down

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

City had a real go in the second half and had a lot of possession and territory, but I can’t remember the Wednesday keeper being really tested. It finished 1-0 and really it was like so many first team home games you’ve seen in these last four years or so.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Wednesday were physically much stronger and quicker than City- they were able to swat away City's attacks and win the ball almost at will in defensive areas. It looked like men against boys- hopefully that's reflected in the relative ages of the sides.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Agree with the sentiments posted; SW seemed to be happy to sit back in the 2nd half and it was difficult to find a way through but there were a couple of times where a better final ball could have led to an equaliser. They didn't create much either after the break. Nice to see we have a few players who are able to outpace defenders, and on a couple of occasions a marauding centre-half in Edwards.

City Under 18s 1-0 up against Birmingham at half time, Ossian Rees the scorer.
