Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

One or two there who I expected to be involved tonight - maybe that right back signed in the summer (O’Neil?) will be involved? I take it that’s Isaak Davies? Looks like Giles and/or Mafico will be involved.

Looking forward to watching Tankiewicz who can’t be much older than 16 or 17.

Probably Jake Davies I think

Yes, probably - his first game at this level I believe.

Wigley and Jeffries involved maybe?

Yes, Wigley was involved in the pre season games wasn’t he.

Half time in the under 21s game and quite a bit to admire so far. 1-0 to City as their press worked to present Troy Perrett that the took very well. Sheffield United started the better, but City were on top in the closing stages of the half when Jac Thomas came very close to making it 2-0 - there’s also been a goal for City probably correctly disallowed for offside.

Finished 1-1, City had to do a lot of defending in the second half and a draw was the least the visitors deserved by the end.

Team for the under 18s game at Hull that kicks off in about ten minutes time.

Nothing official from us or from Hull, but someone on Twitter saying we won 3-2.

Wonder if Giles is injured, seemingly not considered yesterday & didn't feature for the u21s this week

Off on loan soon I suspect, but it’s a surprise to see us so short of left back options and Giles being virtually ignored.

Papirnyk (2) and Walsh with the goals

A fair few new names to me in the u18 side

Interesting that 13 of the 22 are at clubs outside of Wales. Wonder whether they've joined them having been scouted or are at their local club but are Wales-qualified.

Here’s under 21 side that’s playing today at Crewe. It’s currently half time and someone’s Tweeted that we’re 1-0 up.

Same guy just said its 2-0 and is raving about Tankiewicz. Him and Perrett with the goals

Amazingly still feels like a reasonably young u21 side, Pearce the only one who is 21? Certainly seems more worthwhile than when we'd have a large group of players seemingly brought in to play for the u21s/23s at the top end of that age range

Not to make this in any way about me, because it isn't, but because you mentioned Crewe, it took me back to a three game pre season thing we did at Keel university many years ago. We played Aston Villa, Boro and Crewe. Crewe were by far the best side out of the three (u18s) We lost, but they battered us in terms of how they played the game. We beat Villa though. I always wonder who was playing in that Crewe side as they were producing some good players fron the late eighties up until the mid to late 90s.
