4-1 to Coventry half way through the second half - we've been poor today, but that's the first time in months I can say that about the Under 23s.

4-1 to Coventry half way through the second half - we've been poor today, but that's the first time in months I can say that about the Under 23s.
6-1 and still not finished - we've been wide open at the back and I think the side we selected was ill balanced because they wanted Watters and Harris to play.

u18s played earlier and won 6-0, playing with 10 men from before half time.
Against Ipswich, who not only finished second in the league but play Liverpool in the FA Youth Cup semi final on Wednesday. I assume they had a weakened side out but a good result for us all the same. Jame Crole got a hat-trick, taking him to 16 goals for the season, two for Cian Ashford too. Ryan Kavanagh got the red card for us, I doubt it'll be his last. I know some people on here think youth level games lack intensity, that certainly doesn't apply to Ryan. He can play too.
Harris & Colwill both included in Wales' training camp in Portugal, making it 6 City youth products alongside Lockyer, Gunter, Ramsey and Matondo
Not bad :wales:
No Will Vaulks again though;-

Taz Mayembe, capped by Wales and England at youth level, has been selected in Zambia’s full international squad for three upcoming friendlies.
He was called up for Wales u18's in March but withdrew.
New nationality rules now remember which could eventually apply to Taz:
"(rules regarding switching nationality) have now been relaxed, allowing a player to change nationality as long as they have only featured in three international fixtures, including qualifiers – but not tournaments like the World Cup, must have been less than 21 years of age at the time of playing and can only switch after three years of no international activity." (https://citisportsonline.com/2020/12...-switch-rules/)
Wales has long relied on dual-nationality players feeling more Welsh than other even if other has greater chance of success. If that's what is happening in reverse here then full credit to him and hope he enjoys the adventure.

“It was difficult purely because am looking to help my country out, When Zambia stepped in and said they were serious about giving me an opportunity, Without a doubt, I said yeah, I’m coming home.”
“I spoke to the coach before the call-up and he explained the situation and said he will give me the chance and without a doubt, I decided to come back home,” he added.

Thanks for that, pleased about Bowen - it sounds far fetched now, but he’s with a club and country that aren’t the strongest in his position at the moment, there’s an opportunity there for him and other young Welsh midfield players to go quite far in the game if they can continue to develop and have the right attitude.
Not surprised by any of the Academy lads who’ve signed pro deals, I like Pritchard and Taylor Jones has been good most of the time when he’s played for the under 23s.
I’ve a feeling Connolly played for the under 23s on trial towards the end of last season.
