Dan Ola makes it 2-0.

I see Will Spiers has been recalled from his loan at Eastleigh.

Strange. He's had some unusual loans this season - he played for us in the Vertu whilst at loan to Merthyr didn't he?

Yes, he did. I think there’s a category called youth loans which I believe enables the player to turn out for their parent club while on loan if both parties are agreeable to it happening.

The thing that always gets me, is whenever our u21's game is stramed on youtube, there are a load of people in the chat watching the game who are not fans of either team, but have bet on the outcome - usually from abroad somehwere.

How much of a gambling problem would you have to have to be betting money on this level of football? I'm sure not even the people on here who watch the U21s regularly would be able to predict with any great accuracy how we will do each week, so quite how someone who has to ask which team are which is getting on I shudder to think.

THis is like watching the first team, get on top and into a good position to attack to repeatedly pass it just behind the cardiff player

I've noticed that too. Betting in sport seems to be getting out of hand, leading to match fixing scandals, spectators following golfers around and shouting to put them off and even female tennis players being stalked to affect their play. Some of the obnoxious abuse players of all sports get online is linked to this too.

Still 2-0, but Bournemouth have had a player sent off.

Voice has played at centre back today and done well - heÂ’s looked more at home there than he has done at left back.

Edit, Bournemouth make it 2-1.

Grabbed a draw from the jaws of victory there!

2 - 2

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Only saw the last 10 . Poor in defence and wasteful with the space we had going forward. Don't know why the lad felt the need to dive in there at the end.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

City throw the win away by conceding a penalty in the 92nd minute. So many chances wasted as Bournemouth pushed forward. A partial excuse is that we had a few subs on from the under 18s at the end, but you could see the equalizer coming.

They seem to usually back goals. "Come on Cardiff, need two more for 50 rupees"

Harmless enough I suppose although I usually hide the chat, nothing useful can be found there.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Conceding 2 goals against 10 men is disappointing. Lessons to be learned hopefully.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

No Kingdon, Apter or Pearce in the under-21s squad today but, unless I've missed something, none of them have gone out on loan either. As mentioned, Will Spiers is back with us after a month of his loan with Eastleigh.

Fresh legs for the first team squad? With Osho and Lawlor missing on Saturday it's not impossible that Kingdon has been drafted in as cover but none of the four have made a league 18 this season. If the squad needing boosting then we've just had a month to sort that out so I'm not sure what to make of it. We'll see.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

No Donczew in the squad, again. Whilst other U16's have been playing. Has he been injured or poached?
