Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

I see the u21, u18 and women's fixtures are back on the club website now 👍

That’s good to know, thank you to whoever was responsible for the change.

No Kpakio, Davies or Pearce. Wonder if any of them will feature later.

Suppose Kpakio could be out with injury which forced him off on Thursday.

Brentford 1-0 up, fully deserved - City not at the races so far, second to everything.

Had a scan, 6 weeks minimum apparently.

Gutting for him just as he was getting a foot in the door with the 1st team squad.

That’s a shame, think he might well have got some more game time in the league over the coming weeks - par for the course this season though.

1-0 to Brentford at half time, we’ve come into it a bit more after falling behind and Nyakhuwa should have equalized after a good run by Perrett, but there’s not been much sign of a City goal besides that.

2-0 to Brentford. Fraid it’s a second goal where Cody Twose has given the ball away in a dangerous position.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Finished 3-0 and it could have been worse. Getting thrashed last week was understandable in a way because we had a lot of under 18s in the side, but this was not too far short of the pre Christmas team, yet we had very little to offer. Thought Lawlor kept going well and Isaac Jeffries caused them most problems - can’t help thinking that they’re missing Dakari Mafico’s ball winning and general tidiness in midfield.

Newcastle or Villa away if we beat Bristol City. Maybe Merstham in the quarters?

Merstham lost 7-1 at Chelsea tonight.

Nice to see plenty of reference to our tie with Bristol City (this Friday, 19.00 kick off) on the big screen last night.

The dream is over. Now we'll never find out where it is.

Surprised by that as he seemed to have moved in front of Luey Giles in the pecking order because he’d done well at Centre back in the under 21s - good signing for County.

Think we’re probably in a position where we’ll seriously consider any offer which can lead to a reduction in the wage bill.

Don’t forget the under 18s are in action tonight in the Youth Cup at Leckwith against the wurzels who are top of our league, kick off at 7.

Probably a decent move for him.

A few years older than Giles isn't he?
