Yes the future certainly looks rosy Paul with the academy age groups
There’s a steady stream of youngsters coming through and from a financial perspective they could see us in good stead 💴👍

if there is a genuine route to the first team going forward as there has been this season then quite a few of them might prefer to stay here

As well as more promising pre teens signing for us because they now seem to have a chance of making it that they didn't previously.
Very few online details of this, but it seems, Wales Under 17s, with four City players in the squad, began their campaign in the Euro qualifying mini tournament in Portugal during the international break with a 3-1 win over Ukraine and now face the Portugese next, before finishing with a game against Kazakhstan.

Seems City's Cole Fleming scored the other goal.
Keiron Evans' injury meant that he had to drop out of the Wales Under 21 squad, but Ratcliffe, King and Davies are still there - the game against Gibraltar at six o clock tonight is being streamed on Sgorio.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
George Ratcliffe is the only City player in the Welsh team tonight. Wales 2-0 up halfway through the first half Beck and Adams with a penalty the scorers.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
3-0 half time, Jephcott with the third one.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Finished 7-0, second half goals from Adam’s, Williams, Taylor and Ashley. Davies was on for the last half an hour or so and King for about fifteen minutes.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Bagan and McGuiness both played for the Republic U21s against Italy tonight too.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
There's very likely to be City involvement in the two age group internationals Wales play today. At under 17 level, they face Kazakhstan knowing that a win will, almost certainly, see them qualify for the Elite Round of the Euros - Ukraine have to beat hosts Portugal to stand a chance of stopping us if we win our game. Not sure what time this match kicks off, but there's live streaming on the Sgorio site of our under 21 game with Switzerland at Rodney Parade which kicks off at 4 o clock.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
u21s are 0-0 with the swiss into the second half
ratcliffe is in the team with Isaak Davies and Eli King on the bench
-
Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
and as I write that the swiss have taken the lead

Unfortunately it was from a bad mistake by City’s George Ratcliffe, Isaak Davies on now.

Yeah, I saw that - 1-1 draw with Kazakhstan who had lost their first two games with a goal difference of minus 8.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Finished 1-0 to Switzerland with a bit of a grandstand finish by Wales in which they had a goal harshly disallowed, but overall, I don’t think they can have too many complaints about the outcome.
Also, an interesting article about some of the next lot of Academy youngsters coming through - seems Leeds offered six figure sums for Cian Ashford this summer.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
A bit off topic I guess but Sion Spence got two goals tonight, including a late winner, as Bristol Rovers came back from 3-1 down in extra time to beat Oxford 4-3 in their FA Cup replay.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
City under 18s 1-0 up at half time against QPR with the goal scored by Rhys Schwank as as they chase a fifth successive win - I say under 18s, but there’s a lot of players involved who were representing Wales at under 16 level last month. Looking at the team selected, it seems we can expect a fair under 18 regulars to be involved with the under 23s when they resume fixtures on Tuesday.

Would be a tragedy if a man with such a great name didn't make it at the club

He’s a consistent scorer for the under 18s - wouldn’t be surprised to see him get some game time for the under 23s this season.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
3-0 now, Isaac Jefferies and Joel Colwill with goals early in the second half.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Last goal scored by Mpadi (Rabbi Matondo’s brother) one of the Under 16 qualified players in the team - great win this when you consider they were without the likes of Crole, Hughes, Ashford and Wigley.

I was interested in the article last week about the new crop of youngsters. Would you say that was accurate? Any other names in the U18 to remember?

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Kick off to today’s match at QPR delayed for fifteen minutes, so it’s a 1.45 start.

I don’t get to watch the under18s play since the onset of the pandemic, so I can’t say much really - James Crole scored a hat trick recently for the under 23s and is playing for them again today, while Cian Ashford is on the bench. Crew and Mpadi both started for the under 18s on Saturday despite having played for Wales under 16s last month (I think Crew may still be eligible for under16 football next year).

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
1-1 at the moment, Crole put us in front with a penalty.but QPR.just equalised.
