City under 18 team for the game at Bristol City today, kick off 11 o clock.

I am surprised that Manny Barton is on that list. He came on as a substitute in last nights U21 game and scored.

He’s not looking to get on the grass, he wants to be back in the building

Another Friday night under 21 game this week, home to QPR at Leckwith, kick off 7 o clock - I’m sure that, as usual, it will be streamed.

Troy Perrett penalty puts City 1-0 up.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Nyakuhwa makes it 2-0. It’s been a pretty even game, but we’ve just had a ten minute purple patch when we could have scored three or four.

3-0, Luke Pearce runs thirty yards to Rob the keeper and grab himself a deserved goal.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Finished 3-1, very enjoyable performance by City.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Good all round performance. Great pressing especially for the 3rd goal.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

TOBW and BlueToujours have summed it up well there. A good performance from City and a very enjoyable game.

We got into so many good positions in the second half we should've scored more. Nyakuhwa was the guiltiest for poor balls in but it was good to see him playing with some swagger again. Luey Giles played well, I thought, but Luke Pearce stood out with a very energetic and combative performance. The win just about keeps us in with a chance of progressing in the PL Cup.

It's suddenly got a bit nippy out, by the way. I misjudged it tonight by rocking up in shorts and a Velikonja t-shirt but I won't be making that mistake tomorrow.

3 - 1 win.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

The under-21s are back in action tomorrow night (Tuesday) against Watford at Leckwith Stadium, 7.00 kick off.

No Mafico, Giles, Spiers or Perrett (he's third top scorer in the league for now) but there should be enough strength in depth to be competitive for the rest of the season.

Interesting to see if we give Michael Reindorf a run-out tomorrow and if we give Axel Donczew more game time at that level as the season goes on.
