No, time was you’d soon know the identity of a trialist in these games even if City were trying to keep his identity a secret, but I’m not aware of this guys name being revealed anywhere.

Welsh qualified players for the Bristol team. Perhaps the wrong game to ask how they're doing :hehe:Quote:
Zac Bell start for Bristol City U23s, Barney Soady and Harry Leeson subs

Finished 3-0, that’s five consecutive wins for the under 23s as well with the last four of them being by at least a three goal margin.
I think I’m right in saying that our first, Development and Academy teams are on a collective run of thirteen straight wins!
There must certainly be a good atmosphere at the club at the moment.
First team, U23s and U18s all on a winning streak.
Youth players getting opportunities and not looking out of place. That in itself must be focussing the minds of the u23 players.
Looking forward to seeing the highlights now.
Him and Terry Connor were there. Respect to them for that.
Highlights of the game are here.

Very interesting interview with Steve Morison from WOL today:

Quote:
"The odds of people coming through academies and making it as a fully fledged pro is 0.01 percent, something crazy," he says.
"Look, Rubin and Isaak haven't made it – I've told them both that. I told them the hard work starts now.
i) It's always a bit funny when UK players are called cr*p online considering they're the best 0.01% in the UKQuote:
"Winning for us, in the grand scheme of things, is Rubin Colwill making his debut, Isaak Davies being in the squad, that is winning for this football club," he says.
"We just have to keep working hard and we are by no means done yet. We are working round the clock, grafting to make sure we make this football club better from within.
ii) Winning youth games means you play harder youth teams which helps development, but success at youth level is always about how many make the first team and have good careers.
iii) Neil Harris clearly has some strengths - I wonder if he's one who is better suited to being a youth manager? There are some mid-level or worse managers (Lee Johnson the classic example) who are just waiting for youth manager to be considered as prestigious a role in order to have their best career.
Fully agreed City123! I said on another thread somewhere that Neil Harris would make an excellent scout. You and I are absolutely right!
I thought it was a cert that Morison would follow Harris out of the club, but, reading that article, it looks like our ex manager kept a bit of distance between the two men. While the winning run is great, Morison repeats what you hear from so many at age group level - developing players takes priority over results, but I don't see how results can be ignored - we're playing well individually and collectively and beating teams comfortably at the moment, I do hope we don't just revert to type when it comes to first team selection now we're getting long term injured senior players back.
The Under 18s are at Ipswich today hoping to extend their winning run to four - kick off at 1 o clock.
KO. at 11.00 and currently losing.

3-1 now about halfway through the second half - looks like the fourteen game winning run is over.
The Under 23 match against Charlton scheduled for tomorrow has been brought forward to 2 o clock today - hopefully, it will be shown on the club website as normal.
Don't know if Lee Tomlin will be in the team again, but Mick McCarthy has said that Max Watters and Ciaron Brown will probably play the full ninety minutes.
