I guess Nyakuhwa's left the u21s behind then and is a full first team member
Would like for one or two of those to get loans in January

2-0 up at half time. Plenty of possession and pressing when they don’t have it from City. Millwall have their usual size advantage, but, this time, that extra bulk is making their defenders appear lumbering as they struggle to cope with City’s pace and movement. Jake Davies scored early with a shot from the edge of the box deflected over the keeper and right at the end of the half, City exploited Millwall’s slowness at the back with a counter attack from a corner which ended when Mannie Barton was brought down in the penalty area - Will Spiers sent the keeper the wrong way from the spot.
3-0, Barton.
4-0, Barton.
Finished 4-0 and I reckon that was a fair reflection of our superiority.
U21’s win 2-1 v Bristol C at Leckwith.
Gabriel Keita and Noah Williams with the City goals.
A real slog of a game in awkward conditions. City were probably slightly second best in a goalless first half, but were the better side in the second half when they scored twice in quick succession around the halfway point in the half. Keita’s goal came from him getting the second touch on a corner and Williams’ was the result of an incisive breakout that he finished well. The wurzels got a goal back with about ten minutes left, then City had to absorb some pressure, but we’re not troubled too much as they saw the game out well.
I know we speculate a lot and it doesn't usually come to anything but Will Spiers absence today was interesting. With Ng injured, Charlie O'Brien going off with a knock on Tuesday and Kpakio only just back after an injury himself there could be an issue at right back tomorrow. I'd expect Chambers to fill in if there was a problem but BBM has shown he's not scared to throw youngsters in so it's hard to second guess him.
No Perrett or Tankiewicz either but it's hard to see either of them making the squad. We'll see.
5-1 win for the under 18s over Swindon this morning in the EPL Cup. Allmark and two each from Sykes and Hilaire-Clark.
Tankiewicz in the squad!
Wales u-19s beat the Netherlands 2-0 today. Jac Thomas and Mannie Barton started, Barton scored with a penalty as he did in the defeat against the Swiss earlier in the week. England next up.
The under 18s lost to Sweden 3-1 having already lost to Ukraine. Jack Sykes, Hayden Allmark, Tiger Tobin and Noah Williams have each started one game so far. Having been to Japan in September they're on the Croatian coast this time round. Tough job but someone's got to do it.
A sixth league win in a row for our under-18s today as they beat Watford 4-1. Jack Sykes (2), Harry Watts and Tiger Tobin with the goals.
