Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
To continue the glad tidings, the U21s were beaten 3-1 tonight at QPR but with a young team, although there isn't much detail even on the Academy Twitter feed. Probably too much going on to spare the media team.

One thing I noticed about that game is that QPR are now calling their team QPR B - perhaps they're going down the Brentford route because of the situation with Academies discussed above?

It was a league game so I think they've probably just changed the name. I don't think Brentford B are in a league and just arrange friendlies, although they are in the Premier League Cup. They've played some fancy games though - Monaco, PSV, Como, err, Wealdstone, and they're in a tournament in Portugal at the moment. Nicer than a windswept Athletics stadium.

Chelsea have just signed Southampton’s best youngster, too. System is broken

Early in Mick McCarthy’s time in charge, City won something like thirteen consecutive games at senior, under 21 (might have been under 23 then ) and under 18 level - I make it eight straight defeats now for those teams now.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
U21s playing again today, away at Colchester. Doesn't look like there's a stream.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
No Xavier Benjamin, in the squad for Hull? Is Eli King playing at centre back today?
Looks like O'Dowda or Simpson left back tomorrow

Yeah, looks like Benjamin could be on the bench tomorrow as CB backup with Simpson LB again.
Not sure where King's playing, but there only seems to be one recognised CB in the side so he could be, or maybe Bagan.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
is that new signing playing? did we make a signing for the u21s or did I imagine it?

Lennon Peake? Nothing announced, so assume it didn't happen/ hasn't happened yet (don't know how the transfer window applies to U21s or if he's still with West Ham or is a free agent).

Finished 3-0. The bad run continues. Time for a win tomorrow!

To Colchester! Sorry, that’s pathetic even allowing for all of the talk of it all being about performances at this level.

I guess you could make the excuse about players being out on loan or in the 1st team squad, but we had 3 players with 1st team experience playing today, 2 of them in defence. That won't have given Bagan's confidence much of a boost.

Still showing on West Ham’s website and Transfermarkt as one of theirs.

Eight City players in the latest Wales under 17 squad, albeit two of them are reportedly leaving the club.

Under 18s at home to Millwall today, kick off 1 o clock.

That’s what I thought. I think to qualify for the under 17s, you need to under that age on 1 September, so I suppose it might be based on who they were contracted to on that date?

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
0 - 0 at 63 minutes.
0 - 3 at 70 minutes. Hearn hat-trick for Millwall.
Somehow that feels like an omen!
-
Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
0 - 4 FT (all goals to Hearn)

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Time for the 1st to break the losing streak!

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
The u23’s travel to Swansea today having won the home leg 4-3
Pursey wants to win this one drafting in a couple of the first team to get them game time including Bagan and Gavin Whyte
