Good place league 1 for it. More forgiving league and you get the trophy comp too.

Good experience given to plenty others also.

All part of the Tan masterplan all along.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

How many of them featured in a league game?

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Five.

Turner started 3 games (Peterborough and Exeter at home, Lincoln away).

Mafico started against Rotherham but only lasted 36 minutes before being subbed.

Tankiewicz got 3 minutes against Northampton.

Williams got 20 minutes at Mansfield.

Moreno got 2 minutes at Mansfield.

Let’s be honest, appearances against Arsenal’s under-21’s shouldn’t really count.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Thanks, I thought it might have been more than 5 but then I noticed players like Kpakio and Lawlor were not included in the list.

No, they made their debuts last season, as did Nyakuhwa.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Only 20 minutes, but I thought looked very comfortable on Saturday. He's a good dap, very athletic and I was impressed with how strongly he went in on a 50/50. Kpakio and he will be excellent back up to Ng or Ng's replacement

The u-19 squad for the Euros should be interesting. I wonder what happened to Isaac Davies?

Wrong Isaac(k) - think he means the one we signed from Forest around February time.

No problem, it is a bit confusing.

Funnily enough, I've only ever seen one u-19 international and Isaak Davies came on in that. It was against Russia at Leckwith in 2019. There were a few other City lads involved (Sam Bowen, Keenan Patten, Harry Pinchard and Dan Griffiths) in a 2-2 draw.

If you, TOBW or anyone else wants a guess at which player (non City) scored both the Wales goals that day then fire away.

Neco Williams scored a couple of penalties on the day we appointed Neil Harris as manager I believe. Wales won that mini tournament against three countries I was going to say we’re behind the old Iron Curtain, but I’m now thinking one of them may have been Turkey (who we beat 1-0 or 2:1) I can remember we beat Poland 3-0 at Rodney Parade with Patten getting one of the goals.

It’s a mystery to me how those three midfielders played so few first team games for us. It appears that Bowen is without a club currently after his short term deal with Gateshead ran out, Patten is still with Newport after he got a really bad injury which caused him to miss most of last season shortly after joining them and Pinchard is at Dorking Wanderers, a team that produces half hour videos of all of their games,so I’ve watched quite a few of his recent appearances!
