Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Tonight's Youth Cup tie at Crewe is going ahead it would appear - Youth Cup matches are normally streamed, but not this time it would seem.
https://www.cardiffcityfc.co.uk/news...s-cardiff-city
Also, the Under 21 game against Sunderland which was called off on Friday has been rearranged for tomorrow, kick off 11 o click at Leckwith - hopefully, this one will be streamed and you'd think Isaak Davies will be involved.

Maybe they’ve been down here since last week? Seriously, I don’t think it’s too unusual for an under 21 or 18 side to have overnight stays these days - Ipswich and Colchester are in our league every year and, more often than not, the under 18s kick off at eleven when they’re playing them.

I do hope so, it gives it professional edge that’s needed:thumbup:

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Sounds like a good u18s match tonight - just beat Crewe 4-3. Fleming, Ware & 2 for Mpadi.

Have I missed some news? Have we offered Morrison a contract? Is he even a registered Cardiff City player? I agree they're taking the piss today.

Re: U21 - Cardiff City v Sunderland 11am - Live feed
Ruben Colwill scores with a free kick. City lead 1-0.

Re: U21 - Cardiff City v Sunderland 11am - Live feed
Excellent free kick by Ruben. 1 nil City. Strong team and decent game.

Great minds.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Colwill with a Whitts like free kick puts us one up. Bit like watching the first team on Saturday until then, plenty of chances, but no finish.

Think all of this talk of embargoes makes it even more likely we’ll sign Morison on a contract - always assuming we can.
-
Re: U21 - Cardiff City v Sunderland 11am - Live feed
Quite a few 'first teamers' playing: Colwill, Davies, Morrison, Sang and Philogene.

Using the u21s to give the first team squad some match time, certainly.
The ages of the starting 11: Luthra (20), Campbell (21), Bagan (21), Morrison (31), Nelson (29), Sang (23), Philogene (20), Colwill (20), Crole (18), Davies (21), Tanner (20).

I don't know how it works. Maybe there's a loophole to be exploited? Agree we'll likely sign him now.

I do find it kind of hilarious seeing a 31 year old in an U21 match though. Legal or not!

Think they need to be twenty one or under at the start of the season, so that team is okay if the same rules apply.
1-0 at half time.

Clever free kick. Everyone was expecting the cross, including the keeper.

I think the embargo has been the reason why we have been seeing so much of him in recent weeks. As an out of contract player we will be able to sign him.

Re: U21 - Cardiff City v Sunderland 11am - Live feed
We can see how much we have been missing Morrison at corners and free kicks. Sunderland can't handle him.
Not so sure about him in defence though. Still looks sluggish.

Only place for him I guess seeing as there's no reserves anymore

2-0, Crole cages in on a poor back pass.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Colwill seemed to be playing far more centrally than he does for the firsts.

Maybe Darren Purse thinks it’s his brother?
Looking at the starting line up,I think he had to play there.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Finished 2-0, think City have a good chance of qualifying now.
