Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Watched the u21 regularly this season and only Crole and King stand out. Not sure why we dont start Etete and Davies upfront to see if they can form a partnership that could benefit the first team in the future.
Yesterday match was really scrappy with a few half chances for both team but Charlton missed some sitters second half. We seem to be playing Antwi as a number 10 when he was a Defensive mid before xmas.

Seems that he’s been injured, maybe more growing pains, who knows?

Increasingly, I find myself agreeing with those querying the standard of coaching at age levels football at City - the first team has struggled to find a number 10 all season and you’d have thought the staff at under 21 would be trying to identify players best suited for the role, Antwi’s not a number ten based on what I’ve seen of him.

I can't see any YouTube coverage, and (although I haven't registered) it doesn't seem to be on Royals TV.
I'm just following updates on the Academy Twitter.

Edit - That looks like the u21 game from August 2022.
Reading scored just before the HT whistle: 1 - 0 HT

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
sorry did not realise that

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
City did everything but equalise in added time, but it finished 1-0.
Doh, only just noticed Jon’s post above :hehe:

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
We just have equalised with 3 minutes to go

Can we make it so the highlights aren't accessible in Manchester?

That's a very good idea!

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Interesting Glen Williams piece on the academy, on Cat1 and Cat 2, and the size of the compensation payment (or is it a fee?) the club will get for Crew, Benjamin and Biancheri (he says high six figure rising to seven figure sum if 'add on' targets achieved)!

Ah cheers, missed that at the time. I'd noticed Crole tends to moan a bit on the pitch and hoped that was down to having high standards but obviously an issue if he's irritating people. Nice to see the U18s turn it around though.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Lots of call ups to the Welsh youth squads this week. Armstrong, Giles, Lawlor, Perrett & Twose called up to the u17s as well as old boys Crewe, Biancheri & Benjamin. Dennis, Spiers, Fleming, Nyakuhwa, Matondo & Jeffries called up to the u18s. I make that 14 Cardiff youth products across the 2 squads?
Interesting to see Lewis Koumas, Jason's son, in the u18s

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Our U18s are away to Bristol City tomorrow - kick off 11:00.
I’m hoping to go, seeing as it’s about 15 minutes away from home.
-
Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
1-1 so far at Bristol, City fell behind to a penalty, but Nyakuhwa equalised within three minutes with a “stunning” free kick.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Japhet Matondo and Corey Twose put 3-1 up, but the wurzels have now levelled it at 3-3.
-
Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Finished 3-3. Shame not to win when we were 3-1 up but sounds like a good game.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Here's the team. Benjamin's playing so he won't be featuring in the absence of Kipré tomorrow. Joel Colwill back in the squad.
No stream as far as I can see.
