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.
I was told that Taylor Jones's dad played for Cardiff early 90s?

Could be Mark Jones who played for us between 90 and 92;-
"A player who had seen service at Oxford United between September 1979 and September 1986, as a full back come midfield player, where he made 129 League appearances, with 7 goals, before moving on to Swindon Town. He was badly affected by injuries during his time there, and in 4 seasons only made 40 appearances in the League, scoring 9 times. Although his was obviously a player of some class, he never seemed fully fit during his time with City, and spent much of his time out injured, before being released at the end of his 2 year contract. In 1994 he rejoined Oxford United as Soccer Course Director."
There was also an Ian Jones (who I must admit I cannot remember), who played three league games for us at full back between 93 and 96 which we lost without scoring a goal - I think it's more likely to be him;-
"A left back that emerged through the club's youth times he only made the first team on a few rare occasions, never looking as if he was going to get an extended run. He left the game a short while after joining Merthyr Tydfil."

I'm fairly sure it would be Ian Jones because he played on in the Welsh League for Penrhiwceiber or a team in that area. As I've seen a bio of Taylor that says he's from the Cynon Valley I think 2+2 =4ish 🤔

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
I remember Ian Jones, he was picked ahead of Damon Searle at left back for two games in 1993/94, then played one more game 2 years later. we seemed to have quite a few younger players come through in those days, but then disappear in to non league. Chris Ingram , Nathan Wigg and Andy Evans spring to mind.
Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Just saw that Ben Margetson has been signed by Swansea to play for their U23s. Perhaps he'll be the new Ben Cabango.

Crystal Palace midfielder formerly of Cardiff City emerges as midfield option for Bristol Rovers
Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
1-1 for the U23s at Weston-Super-Mare tonight. Zinka with our goal, WSM equalising in 2nd half injury time. Another wholesale change at half time with a few U18s thrown in.
Ratcliffe, Semenyo, Trialist, Masrani, Denham, Connolly, Kavanagh, Patten, Zimba, Pritchard, Trialist.
Luthra, Trialist, Jones, Vaughan, Bakare, Trialist, Trialist, d’Almeida, Wigley, T. Davies, Hughes.
Mr and Mrs Trialist proud parents once again as their five sons take part.
Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
My apologies, Zimba with the goal. Zinka couldn't make it.
Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
A 3-2 defeat for the U23s at Paulton Rovers tonight. Zimba and Trevor Trialist with the goals. I'd never heard of Paulton - as a club or town - before the game was announced a few weeks ago. They play at level 8 of the pyramid. Not sure if this bodes well; let's call it a good learning exercise. I remember a City XI losing to Yate Town back in the day but that was when we were shite.

seems like they were ahead most of the in match until they made a bunch of changes, and I wasn't too familiar with many of the names being brought on, so It may have ended up quite a young side

Apparently Paulton Rovers are regarded giants of football in the Paulton, Midsomer Norton and Radstock areas. It's a hotbed of football :-) talent.
Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Sorry to be a pedant, but I’ve got to use this thread! City Under 23s we’re 2-0 down at half time to West Brom, but two goals in two minutes early in the second half for Isaac Vassell and Kieron Evans (his first appearance of the season) has us level at 2-2.
