They’re very reluctant to let us know who scored for us - good win because it’s nowhere near our strongest side.
Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
There’s been two away games this season for the under 18s that seem to have been filmed by a drone- interesting pictures that tend to show us in a good light.
These pictures are from the under 18s’ weekend win at Fleetwood.

Looks like it’s going to finish in a big win for the under 21s at previously unbeaten Peterborough.

Very interesting view. Wonder if that's being done for analysis purposes where our opponents aren't filming it, and whether someone's controlling it or it's automated.
Cracking 2nd goal.
Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Yeah I'd quite like to watch a game like that.
Scorers listed on flashscore: J Davies 2, Twose and Perrett.

Automated apparently. My lad says his games have been filmed like that, where possible, for around 4 or 5 years and it gets used for analysis even if normal angles are available.
He says software is available to track the ball but with the hockey ball being small (and, presumably, because Wales haven't got a pot to piss in) it's not as effective as in football. The lack of close-ups can be an issue, still a valuable tool though. Not if you're a defender who keeps getting caught out of position though, I guess.

Article about young Rob Tankiewicz in WalesOnline. Wonder if we'll use the EFL Trophy to give opportunities to even younger players!

Our under strength under 21s looking very good at Peterborough.

An assist for him today as Wales u-17s beat Estonia's 2-1.

He’s someone who could do with a loan. I’ve watched two full games for the under 21s this season - thought he was very good against Sheffield United and quite poor against Wigan when the whole team had an off day.

Having lost their second game to Australia they beat Niigata 2-1 today. Noah Williams and Hayden Allmark started, Tiger Tobin and Jack Sykes came on as subs.
They finished second overall, level on points with Niigata and ahead of Japan and Australia. Not sure how Niigata are better than Japan but I won't lose sleep over it.
As Pedro says, what a trip for those boys.

Great experience for them
Saw one of the lads had to pull out to be cover for Wednesday's first team this weekend, sure he was delighted with that...
Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Mafico seems to have been mentioned a lot in the pre-game stuff from the club today, imagine he'll start tomorrow
Wonder if we'll see any of the (even!) younger lads on the bench at Exeter? One or two of them spotted in first team training recently

Very possible, yes. BM has been a hard guy to second guess so far. You'd expect him to put out a strong enough side to win the game but it won't be a big surprise to see a couple of newbies in the team/squad.
An under-21 game at Huddersfield tomorrow lunchtime, that should give us a few clues. £5 entry or £10 for hospitality if you're tempted.
Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Three names I thought might be in tonight’s squad starting for the under 21s this afternoon.

I thought Tankiewicz and Keita may have been on the bench tonight.
Just to say that Noah Williams and Hayden Allmark started for Wales under 18s in their final game in the four team tournament in Japan they’ve been competing in. Tiger Tobin and Jack Sykes came on as second half subs as Wales beat Niigata 2-1, but their opponents, who I think must have been a senior club side , won the tournament on goal difference over us - we beat Japan 1-0 and lost 2-1 to Australia in our other matches.
