Not sure how he played last night but it's interesting to see that the BBC report of Saturday's game gave him man of the match.

He impressed at Morecambe and seems to have started well at Ross. Hope he gets his chance next season.

Derek Adams was his manager at Morecambe and has now taken him to Ross County, saying he's an excellent player.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Apparently Joel Colwill is set to stay at the club despite loan interest
Surely better off loaning him out than keeping him for the u21s? He needs senior football

Hard to draw any conclusions without more details.
Bulut said in December that he wanted him, and others, to go out on loan.

They’re likely to be playing their football in a losing team as well, because the under 21 team, which was t doing well anyway, have lost a lot of players through loans in the last month. I suppose one interpretation might be that the word has come down from above that Colwill, Ashford and Antwi must play some Championship football especially if, as it probably will, the season turns into one of mid table mediocrity.

I'm sure there'll be plenty of A.Trialists to take their place soon. That time of year when we start looking at players other clubs are releasing, football's equivalent of walking along a beach with a metal detector. Definitely worth a try though, especially as they won't be blocking our own youngsters from getting games this time round.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Is there an u21 game against Bristol City today?
This appeared on the club website earlier this morning but talks about a Monday 1.00 pm kick off. I'm pretty sure Monday was yesterday.

Is today’s game being streamed? I can remember watching a stream of us coming back from 3-0 down to get a draw at the wurzels training ground a couple of years ago.

Doesn't look like it is.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
1-0 up at HT. Well taken goal by Ashford. Scrappy game with few chances. I don't think the conditions are helping. Colwill's been busy, Luthra made one good save. Johnson looks good, quick and involved at both ends.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
2-1 now. Bristol equalised with a slightly deflected long range strike but a fantastic solo effort from Ashford to restore the lead.

Thanks, look forward to seeing that second goal by Ashford.

Decent 2nd half. Nice to see players in a Bluebirds shirt attacking at pace.

That’s why Bulut wanted Ashford and Joel Colwill out of the first team squad as soon as possible :hehe:

It does make you wonder doesn't it, when other teams trust their youngsters.....

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
At a Q&A session at CCS early in the season Erol Bulut made no bones about the fact that he had taken the job at Cardiff City because he wanted to make a name for himself and get on in English football management. If that's his motivation then short termism may well be the reason behind his signing players and team selection. With Ashford and Colwill Minor now sent back to the U21s am I being overly concerned ?

I would too. Both goals were good, but especially the 2nd one.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
I was just looking at the club team pages to check shirt numbers (after Horvath wore a number 12 shirt at The Hawthornes in solidarity with Daryl Dike - wanted to double check he has taken the No 1 shirt).
I notice the first team pages have been revised again and have now got three u21s included: Luthra (28), Turner (41) who have both been showing for a while, and now Raheem Conte (36) as well.
Conte wasn't there last time I looked (last week). Joel Colwill isn't there either (I think he was for a while) nor any other u21s like Ashford who have already appeared on the bench.
Does that mean Conte is seen as a first team midfield option for the rest of the season - or is it just a random edit. If it is deliberate, what do regular u21 watchers think? I only ever see them in highlight packages so don't have much to go on.
