The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

I thought it was a cert that Morison would follow Harris out of the club, but, reading that article, it looks like our ex manager kept a bit of distance between the two men. While the winning run is great, Morison repeats what you hear from so many at age group level - developing players takes priority over results, but I don't see how results can be ignored - we're playing well individually and collectively and beating teams comfortably at the moment, I do hope we don't just revert to type when it comes to first team selection now we're getting long term injured senior players back.

The Under 18s are at Ipswich today hoping to extend their winning run to four - kick off at 1 o clock.

3-1 now about halfway through the second half - looks like the fourteen game winning run is over.

4-1 now. Hope this isn't an omen. 😥

The Under 23 match against Charlton scheduled for tomorrow has been brought forward to 2 o clock today - hopefully, it will be shown on the club website as normal.

Don't know if Lee Tomlin will be in the team again, but Mick McCarthy has said that Max Watters and Ciaron Brown will probably play the full ninety minutes.

Cardiff City XI : Ratcliffe; Pritchard, Trialist, Bodenham, Brown, Martin; Bowen, Patten; Watters, Davies, Evans.

Subs : Thomas, Cogman, King, Idowu.

Senior players Max Watters and Ciaron Brown will feature for the young Bluebirds this afternoon, both of whom have a point to prove to McCarthy.

The young duo have had precious few minutes in the senior team over the last month or so and McCarthy is eager to see how they get on.

However, there is no Lee Tomlin, who has played each of the last two games, meaning one of two things; he has suffered an injury setback or, Cardiff fans will hope, he is being lined up for some involvement against Derby County with the senior team on Tuesday night.

Or McWilliams.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

or McWilliams, who has been pretty impressive at right wing back lately.
trying to work out the formation as they have Pritchard,"trialist" and bodenham who have been the three centre backs for possibly the last couple of games (depending on if it's the same triallist) , then Brown as well, who you'd have thought was at centre back, but he can also play left back, but then there is Martin who is a left back.
would Pritchard have been moved to right back maybe?

That's what I'd go for, I think Pritchard is pretty versatile.

So far, I've had the commentator say "good afternoon and welcome to,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,," twice and then a blue circle which keeps on going round and around appears, so I'm wondering how much of this match we're going to see.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

1-0 to Charlton, hang on 1-1 - Sam Bowen's just scored.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

2-1 Charlton - I'm afraid George Ratcliffe was probably at fault with both goals.

3-1 penalty to Charlton.

In the same article, there’s a Twitter posting from today, which placed him in Leicestershire, so I doubt he’s going to be on the team sheet tomorrow night!

Watters not playing himself into contention.
