Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
The goals from the Bournemouth game are on the club website now - must say it looked like we cashed in on the fact that Bournemouth were crap at playing out from the back.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Nothing got past Alyas all game
He was a rock in defence
The Trialist keeper was a bit suspect but our defensive unit coped admirably
Dak and Ronan were there constantly sweeping up and Troy Perrett was the fulcrum in midfield
To be honest Adrian the goals came from all over the pitch
Dan Ola got another and so did Cole and Tanatswa borrowed from the second years
There were no absolute stand outs as the whole team played as they should
Unfortunately they squandered about a dozen chances but if it wasn’t for their keeper we’d have had a cricket score
That doesn’t reflect on how bad a side Bournemouth were
On the contrary
We were excellent
One o’clock 🕐 kick off v Exeter on Saturday at Leckwith before the season kicks off proper the following week against Brum I think 👍

Good news and thank you. I look forward to your match report later ;-)
I've caught up with the highlights and it looks like it should be a good team this year.
I also watched the U21's, Colwill jnr and Ashford appear to be the next cabs of the ranks although Wigley and Caleb Hughes also have the X factor. I do hope they thin the 1st team squad a bit to get these lads a little nearer to the action. 30 senior Pros is ridiculous

Some catastrophic defending from Bournemouth. You can hear someone, presumably one of their coaches, telling them to "have a bit of f***ing self respect" near the end!
Credit to our lads for closing down quickly to cause the mistakes and for some clinical finishing.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
No match report today I’m afraid Adrian cos I’m up in Leeds preparing for tomorrow lol 🍻
I can confirm however the first years continued their impressive pre season with a comfortable 2-1 win over Exeter
Goals from Dan Ola & Lennon Talbot ⚽️⚽️👍

Thanks. Goals from your two top tips, neither of whom have yet been capped by Wales at any level. Enjoy Leeds

With the heavy defeat for the under 18s on Saturday, this caps a pretty miserable few days forCity, but that was a very young side and we can probably look forward to more of the same if the plan is to field teams like that all season.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
I'm no expert, but this strikes me as an extremely young u21 side?

Maybe it's not U18 written sideways but infinity over proper superset. Probably not though. I don't really follow the U18s much but some new names to me so they might be quite young for an U18s game too.

2-2 at HT. Zimba again, equalising after we went 2-1 behind.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
City playing some really nice stuff, but naive at the back. Joel Colwill and Cian Ashford shining so far.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Beecher gets a second yellow,bit of a silly challenge, but nothing malicious. The ref had already booked four in the first half and has been far too strict for a game at this level

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
3-2 after great run by Tanner...Zimba hatrick.
Somehow have got subtitles on......hilariously inaccurate...

Not on my stream it isn’t, not yet anyway - now it’s 3-2 :hehe:
That took about three minutes after you posted it on my “live”stream :facepalm:

I had the same issue, but you can drag the progress bar fully to the right on the YouTube video and it should be more up to date

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
subtitles on......hilariously inaccurate...not so much not up to date...just the interpretation of the spoken word....anyway have shut them off now.
Who is the second voice....been out of action since January?

It’s Cameron Antwi, he was a regular in the under 21 side last season.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Seems added time goals are endemic to City.......an enjoyable game although I only saw most of second half.
-
Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Got to feel for them after conceding another added time goal - thought we were the better team with a few very good individual performances, but the harsh red card was just too big a burden for them.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Good to see Zimba in the goals again.
