Good experience for our lads though, I didn't see a lot of Perrett when I was watching but Lawlor and Giles seemed to be doing ok. Lawlor took over the captaincy when Crew went off.
Thanks, I won’t bother watching it then - I saw an article saying that the group of teenagers England have coming through are their best yet, they might have a point.
Wales beat Poland 1-0 in the end with Mannie Barton scoring the goal.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Interesting article about Chelsea's strategy of buying in young players. We also seem to be focusing on signing younger talent, but not the way Chelsea are doing it.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
1-0, Issaka with the goal who has played a fair bit for Plymouth this season
Clear that, along with Crew and Biancheri, Lawlor & Giles are considered a key part of this team, started each game

Finished 3-1 to Wales, Turkey equalised, but goals by Biancheri and Myles sealed the win

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Some good results there to be fair. Like the look of Lawlor a lot.

Very confident on the ball
Looks like there's a fair reason to be optimistic with this bunch, imagine a lot will be in the u21s for the next campaign

Odd game from what I saw. Turkey looked to be taking control in the second half. Crew went off, which the commentators made a big deal of, but out of nowhere Wales started opening them up with counter attacks. Turkey needed a win, I guess they just committed too many forward but Wales took advantage well and played with a lot of spirit.
Good night for our lads overall from what I could make out. Twose was a bit anonymous and got subbed at half time but Mafico was very busy and did some good stuff, Lawlor and Giles looked comfortable (maybe too comfortable a couple of times in Lawlor's case but he definitely seems to have something about him) and Armstrong made a couple of outstanding saves. The reason that Crew's subbing wasn't a problem was that Troy Perrett came on for him and put in an excellent cameo. Plenty to be encouraged by, Kpakio would surely have been there too but for his injury.

Kpakio usually their starter, clearly better than Parker & Giggs from what I've seen

Got into watching Adolescence and thought I’d timed it ideally for a 2 o clock finish, only to discover it’s half time :xmashomer::xmashomer:
Lovely move and a good finish for Simic’s goal.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Bit lucky to keep a clean sheet when you consider Peterborough hit the post twice, but, by the same token, City have scored a few more Based on what I saw. Think Simic is much more integrated into the team now and, if the first team were in a less desperate situation, I think he would be making a debut for them between now and May.
