3-1 a penalty for Colchester after some careless City defending.
4-1, an own goal I think following more good work by Colwill.
Finished 4-1.
Nice to watch a Cardiff City team pass the ball to each other.
That was very encouraging and enjoyable again. Everything we haven't be used to in the past few years with the first team (although that may be changing with Mick's Total Football!), and a few likely first team players emerging.
And a good win (the Colchester goalkeeper was a candidate for MOM).
I think the manager will be annoyed with thec2nd half display. Very sloppy, after an excellent 1st half.
No confirmation of it on Twitter yet, but there should be another live one o clock kick off game on the club website today when City Under 23s entertain Millwall. Lee Tomlin has posted a message saying he will be involved, but it will be interesting to see if Rubin Colwill and Isaak Davies are or will they retain their places in the squad for Luton?
Yup, good heads up. Livestream at 1pm.

Bumped so if you've got nothing to do at 1pm, worth a watch. Previous couple of games have been enjoyable. Plus, will Tomlin feature or not?
Ratcliffe plays (so Smithies must be fit), no Colwill or Davies, Tomlin starts, we have a trialist at centre half and Taz Mayembe on the bench.

Radcliffe starts so that means Smithies is fit and in squad tonight. Couple of youngsters clearly also travelled. Hope that doesnt mean Ojo and Ralls still out.
Great to have Tomlin back. Assume he will just do 45/60 mins.
What a superb goal - Patten.
Eight up on the hill and two behind the goal - biggest crowd of the season. Maybe, there's some segregation because the two behind the goal are from Sarf London?
What a beauty! 2 - 0
Another cracking goal - Evans makes it 2-0.
Cameron McWilliams has looked lively whenever I've seen him recently, he can't be far off from his chance to be an unused substitute
Millwall striker sent off after off ball incident involving Tomlin
the trialist has looked very good.
strong, quick, tall but not seen him in the air much. passing with either foot, although I think left is his preferred, and carrying the ball out of the defence when the space is there
The Millwall No 6 on the floor as if he was the victim of something. Ref speaks to linesman, talks to captains, gives Tomlin a telling off for something. Ref about to restart when the linesman calls him over again, they talk and he calls the Millwall No 9 to him and shows a red card! Odd!
Got to be for something he said to the linesman surely. Odd one, Millwall goes down with Tomlin nearby, but the ref takes no action and then, after further consultation with the linesman shows a red card to someone who was yards away at the time of the original incident.
City under 23s have been good for a few weeks now, but, so far, this is the best I've seen from them at this level for a long time.
Tomlin looks like someone's dad joining in with his sons mates
Brilliant goals, especially the first one. Team is playing really well. Tomlin does look out of place mind you.
