Never in doubt. They gave him the champagne during the warm-ups to save faffing around afterwards.

A tough ask but would be very impressive to reach back-to-back Euros
Wonder if Colwill will make the senior squad or remain with the under 21s next month?

I think he could be back in the senior squad, he offers something a bit different.

In contrast, Charlie Crew played four games in the FA Youth Cup for Leeds but, other than that, he's been with their under-21s (who play in the same league as Man Utd), making eleven starts. He was captain for the recent game with Arsenal.

I thought the same, that sounds like a pretty modest beginning to life at Old Trafford, but training with the first team squad is pretty impressive I suppose.
I think Crew may well get a senior Wales cap within a year, although the fac5 we don’t play as many friendliest now might work against him.

I think dependent on how the playoffs go we could well be seeing a few debuts dished out in the June friendlies

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Two games for City age group sides today. The under 18s are away at Barnsley with an 11 o clock kick off, then, as that match finishes, the under 21s kick off at 1 o clock at Leckwith against Ipswich - there will be the normal live streaming of this match on You Tube.

U18s lost 3-1.
Callum Robinson starting for the u21s.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Nice goal by Joel Colwill puts the under 21s 1-0 up.
-
Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
1-0 half time, City deservedly in front in quite an open game.
-
Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Ipswich score two within three minutes of the restart and now we’re losing!
-
Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Dunno who City invited to the dressing room to give a rousing half time team talk, but I’d ask for their money back if I were them. We’ve been dreadful since half time - it’s still 2-1, but Ipswich have also hit the woodwork twice while I don’t think we’ve had a goal attempt of any description yet this half.
-
Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
3-1, we’ve been woeful this half.
-
Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Finished 3-1, the under 21s haven’t been too good all season, but that second half was as poor as I’ve seen them. Colwill finally forced their keeper into a second half save with about two minutes left, but it was the only goal attempt I can remember after the interval.
-
Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
A dress rehearsal for Saturday tonight as the under 21s travel to Swansea for a 7 o clock kick off - can't see there being a stream of the match unfortunately.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Ashford, Robinson & Sawyers playing for the u21s tonight

Nice strike, yes, and it was nice of the Swansea players to get out the way so Sawyers had a clear shot at goal. Not much point in doing the swim away, like their guy did after the first goal, if you're all going to do the run away when you think the ball might hit you.

I'm missing something with the Youth Cup. Liverpool sneaked past Fleetwood then beat Arsenal 7-1. Man Utd lost 2-0 to Swindon, which seems bizarre. No Biancheri for United but Charlie Crew has been playing for Leeds, who are through to the 5th round.
Quick update on the FA Youth Cup for no particular reason, I probably should get out more.
Charlie Crew's Leeds beat Liverpool to make the semi-finals where they will play Millwall, who somehow beat Chelsea. In the other semi, Man City will play Bristol City.
Both Bristol City and Millwall are in our league at that level, we've done the double over Bristol and beaten Millwall in our only game with them this season so it's a bit frustrating we didn't go further ourselves.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
There are very reasonable complaints to make of our inability to bring through young players, but that's what 4 in the past year or so that have been poached? They'll obviously be the better players in the age group so hardly a surprise that we don't see youngsters bursting through

Ashford starting in todays 2 o clock under 21 game at Leckwith against Bournemouth, so someone is replacing him on the bench tomorrow. Ramsey?
There’s the usual live stream on You Tube.

There’s not a great deal worth watching up to now though is there - still goalless, but Bournemouth gradually getting on top.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Bournemouth take the lead - it had been coming.
