Seeing as they have scouts all over in Cardiff (allegedly) it's nice to see us pinch one of theirs

Harris is in the latest Welsh u19 squad too in which Cardiff players outnumber that of Swansea
Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Rhys Healey's excellent goal from the weekend for Newport County. Jazzi with the 2nd. Rhys sets up Welsh u21 Josh Sheehan with the 3rd.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
My take on last night's 3-0 win over Palace for a Development team that I think could well have beaten the eleven we started with on Saturday.

Really thorough write up. Triffic! Lots of food for thought here. Really encouraging, especially in your conclusion. :thumbup: Nice to hear a voice saying that Zahore shouldn't be written off yet. Too easily us fans tend to herd towards popular opinion in criticising players. Hopefully Zahore proves to be a more determined character than evidence may have suggested and he can progress.
I wouldn't want to speculate on the coaching situation for this game, but this seems like a massive experimental exercise in more ways than one.
I must admit, I hadn't checked on the DVP (u23) fixtures before seeing Loramski's thread on this and presumed it was an arranged, behind closed doors friendly, arranged for the benefit of our senior players and assumed that the personnel in this team were older than they actually are. But actually only Immers, Murphy and Freddy being over 23. It makes you realise that Cardiff could probably smash this u23 league if winning was the objective with the likes of experienced young players like Huws, Harris, Tutonda, Ajayi and Kennedy available.
Good to see Tutonda back. There's way too much competion at the club at left back and so either John or Tutonda are really going to need a loan come January, injuries aside.
Starting line up - Murphy, James, John, Huws, Manga, Ajayi, Harris, Kennedy, Gounongbe, Immers, Zohore.
Subs - Tutonda, O’Reilly, Baker, Wharton, O’Sullivan.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
I went to watch the u18s yesterday in a game where Cardiff won 3-0 and we're the most comfortable I have seen them all season.
Watford didn't have one opportunity all game apart from a good penalty shout. Cardiff also had a good penalty shout turned down too.
Some very good goals in the game and I will see that Mark Harris was the stand out player and if there is one player who must be close to making the bench for the first team from the academy it's got to be him.
His two goals yesterday were outstanding and his all round play was very good too.
Two half chances two goals.
I think the u16s won comfortably too.

Nice one Gringo.
I like what I've seen of Harris. He seems to have a good football brain. It would be nice if we can produce a decent forward player for once.

City's Development team play at Turf Moor today against Burnley in a Premier League Cup match, kick off at noon.
Besides Burnley, City are in a group with Sunderland and Blackburn - they drew 1-1 with Sunderland at Cardiff City Stadium in their only game in the competition so far.
It'll be interesting to see if City go with as many first team squad members as they did against Palace last week - my guess is that it will be more like the normal side you see at this level this time.

2-1 at half time with Macauley Southam scoring for us - plenty of experience in the Burnley team with Barnes, Bamford, Kevin Long, Darikwa and Pope all starting.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Full time 3 - 1 win for a very strong Burnley side.
Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
What's the toughest draw City could possibly have got in the third round of the FA Youth Cup? Well, based on their record over the last few years, I'd have said Chelsea away and that's precisely what they have got!

Good I say. Sometimes the best thing for young players is for them to realise how far they have to push themselves to make it. Should be a great challenge for them.

CCFC u18s beat Colchester 2-1 with goals from So Sani and Welch today. Colchester always have strong youth sides.

Harris scored with his first touch after coming on as sub.
