Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

How can a player who doesn’t play in the championship be described as light years ahead?

Light years ahead of Kanga and Meite not the Championship. You haven’t studied relativity nor the theory of!

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

As an avid follower of the U21's I must say I am becoming more and more impressed with Dakarai Mafico - what a really neat and hard working player he is developing into. He may not get the headlines, but his influence on games is significant.

He's good yes, I enjoy watching him play. Him and Twose make an interesting central midfield pairing. I'm old school and always assume that if there's not an 'enforcer' of some kind in there then the midfield will get overrun but Twose and Mafico hold it together nicely when I've seen them there. I guess the key is that if you don't lose possession in the first place then you don't have to spend so much time and effort trying to get it back. Obviously that's a bit of an alien concept to me as a City fan but Twose and Mafico are educating me.

I'm not sure what will happen when Gbadehan comes back, maybe Twose will go to number 10 then but Trey George is in outstanding form there for now. As Twose is the one who's got on for the first team this season it's interesting that he seems to have been dropped from the Wales u-19 squad while Mafico and George are still in there but I don't know the story behind that.

Wales u19s just drew 3-3 in Italy. Kpakio, Giles and Mafico all started. Griffiths and George on the bench, don't know if they got on.
Cardiff old boy Biancheri got 1 of the goals.

Luey Giles is captain of the Wales under 19 side currently taking on Italy. Ewan Griffiths is in goal and there three City players on the bench - Wales 1-0 up at half time.

An article on Reindorf here which, I think, is just a City fan saying he rates him but it's hard to argue with.

The u-21s have a game at Watford tomorrow evening. Their League Cup quarter-final with Cardiff Met is at Leckwith on Monday evening at 8.00 (as far as I know, I have seen Tuesday afternoon mentioned too but that seems unlikely).

A round-up of the City players who played international stuff in the break here, including the age group players.

It's a sign of the times I'm afraid, everyone's dumbing down these days.

Reindorf is playing for the under-21s tonight, Kpakio and Giles too, so it doesn't look like Riza willl be getting too funky with his squad selection on Saturday. To be expected I guess after a couple of decent results.

Thanks. Watford had a player sent off late on but we were 2-0 up at half time so it didn't change the game.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

First goal I can remember Mafico scoring - no harm at all to his career if he can add a few goals to his game.

I was trying to remember if I'd ever seen him have a shot. Still only 17 apparently, he's coming along well. His goal is the first one here. A decent second goal, Isaac Jefferies is having a good season too although there aren't any weak links in the team as a whole at the moment.
