Great stuff. Did it the hard way, giving their opponents a 2-0 headstart! Good to see some of our youngsters involved too.
Fantastic to come back, they were easily the best of the 4 sides from what I saw
An historic moment!
Yes, they were well worth their win over Scotland and were unlucky against Iceland - not at their best today, but they probably deserved to win in the end.Quote:

No, you can get players when they’re eligible for final Academy contracts which are usually signed at sixteen - that’s what happened to us with the likes of Matondo, Crew and Biancheri.Quote:

Good early goal by Isaak Davies.
1-1, ropey defending from a corner.
Yes that would be a good thing to implement. Old clubs get first refusal, makes sense.Quote:

if they are looking to sell them for a large fee to a big club then the players aren't likely to want to come back here are they?Quote:

That’s not a bad idea.Quote:

The under 21s game is 1-1 at half time, pretty drab stuff really with City looking as lacking in creativity as the first team - Isaak Davies is doing his chances of a call up no harm though.
We've had Ashford and Simpson playing for us today. Not sure we've looked solid as a rock though.
You’ve been waiting all season to say that:hehe:Quote:

Should have won that. Butchered a few very good chances.
Finished 1-1, poor stuff with the lack of creativity and finishing which has characterised the season to the fore against a team that are bottom of the Northern section. The only real quality deliveries were from Tom Sang with crosses from which Mark Harris andJames Crole should have at the very least forced the keeper into a save, but, instead, they headed over. Cian Ashford did draw a good save from him in the dying seconds, but it was the sort of opportunity he really should have put away.
The Corey Price Cup - more good experience for our u9-u12s https://www.cardiffcityfc.co.uk/news...price-cup-2023
Under 18s beat Ipswich 3-2 earlier today - Perrett and Nyakuhwa (2) with the goals
U21s playing Coventry in a bit. Can't find a stream for it. https://twitter.com/CF11Academy/stat...32933758386177
is that eboue Adams?
I hadn't twigged, but according to Glen Williams it is!Quote:

Finished up 2-1.
Interesting article here primarily about youngsters Japhet Matondo & Tanatswa Nyakuhwa: https://twitter.com/roathboy/status/1649437405479403522?s=20
An equally interesting line about Lewys Benjamin:
"Lewys Benjamin was all set to join the exodus, but reported complications relating to his Manchester City medical have seen him remain in South Wales, but seemingly only temporarily, with Wolves keen to push through a summer move."
Now Manchester City I understand, but is Wolves a huge step up? Cardiff's keepers are terrible & Benjamin's made the bench for City in the FA Cup, there's a real possibility he could get into the Cardiff team
Yes, next season in what might be a relegation battle, there's a real possibility an u17 keeper will be thrown in the deep end.Quote:

So having said our keepers are terrible and that there's a chance he could be in the first team, you didn't mean to intimate next season whatsoever then. Righty-o.Quote:
