Didn’t realise there was another under 21s match today, it’s at Leckwith and kicks off at 2, here’s the team.

Some 'lively' comments about Simic staying with the u21s (not off to Villa Park) and the seven other u21s who are missing this afternoon - and maybe in the FA Cup squad: Armstrong, Lawlor, Giles, Mafico, Jefferies, Nyakuhwa and Pearce.

I mean it really is remarkable to go from Champions League football to not being able to get out of the u21's at a Championship club for an FA Cup game where we are expected to field a weakened side. In one sense he's maybe a little unlucky to be getting healthy at a time where we actually have 2 decent options at center forward for once, and if he'd been in this situation at the start of the year he might have had a chance to shine, but this certainly has to potential to be an all time shit signing.

Just like they did on Tuesday, the under 21s concede from a corner in the first ten minutes - 1-0 to Coventry.

1-1, Simic again, very good work down the right by Wigley.

Making a good case so far to be given a chance in the first team.

he's taken all of his chances very calmly, but it's unlikely he'd get a free header in the middle of the box as easily as he managed to today if he was with the first team.

Coventry have been taking the same throw in on my telly for the last twenty minutes. I won’t knock a free service that most others clubs don’t provide, but they’re having a bit of a nightmare today.

Maybe, although I'm sure our 1st team defenders have lost their man like that a few times this season!

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Second 1-1 draw of the week for the under 21s. The stream worked for the last half an hour and from what i saw it was a very scrappy affair with Coventry looking the more likely winners - not a bad result I suppose considering the team we put out.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

For the third straight game the under 21s play on the same day as the senior team. Today they're playing Millwall at Leckwith kick off 2 o clock - I wouldn't be surprised if it's another team with a few under 18 players in it because theu also entertain West Brom in the Premier league Cup on Friday night when I would have thought they'd want to put out the strongest team they can.
