Wonder if we'll see any those who played today on Saturday.

Watters played the whole game and Etete went off after an hour, so I’d guess the latter is more likely to be involved on Saturday, but I think Harris will start. Thought Whyte played pretty well, but Philogene didn’t do a great deal apart from score a good goal.
Thought Antwi did well as a one man midfield.

Can we expect Tanner to step up to the first team this season? I was really excited by his signing before the season started, but have hardly seen him.

He improved as the game went on and took his goal well, but I’ve not seen someone who’s ready for the first team in his under 21 appearances.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
It's a huge step up from what he's use to, hopefully theres a plan in place to A) Get his fitness up to a professional standard B) Send him out on loan in January so he can real football league experience.
Next year with a full 12 months of working within the football league should determine if he has the ability to make it

looking at the replay I think a fluke

The qualifying round will begin on the 20 October where Cymru will face Croatia at Stadion Veli Jože (KO 12:00). They will then take on Sweden at Stadion Lako on October 23 (KO 10:00).
Cymru will return to Stadion Lako on October 26 for the final game of their qualifying campaign against Albania (KO 12:00).
Cymru U17: Alfie TUCK (Queen’s Park Rangers), Alyas DEBONO (Cardiff City), Brayden CLARKE (Wolverhampton Wanderers), Callum HARDY (Crewe Alexandra), Charlie CREW (Leeds United), Cody TWOSE (Cardiff City), Dakarai MAFICO (Cardiff City), Dylan LAWLOR (Cardiff City), Ewan GRIFFITHS (Swansea City), Freddie ISSAKA (Plymouth Argyle), Gabriele BIANCHERI (Cardiff City), Jacob COOK (Swansea City), Joe ANDREWS (Southampton), Joe BELMONT (Liverpool), Joe HATCH (Plymouth Argyle), Luey GILES (Cardiff City), Luke ARMSTRONG (Cardiff City), Rhys THOMAS (Manchester City), Troy PERRETT (Cardiff City), Zach GIGGS (Manchester United)
Wales u17s won the group and move on to the "Elite Round" next spring where a top 2 finish ought to ensure qualification for the u17s Euros
Impressive stuff considering Wales were a pot 3 team for this

Very impressive stuff and grounds for optimism considering how many City players were in the squad. Just done some Googling and Wales began with a 0-0 draw with Albania, then came a 3-3 draw with Sweden where we came back from 3-1 down with City’s Luey Giles equalising in the ninth minute of added time, before finishing with a 2-0 win over Croatia.
To balance the good news, Wales’ 22 strong squad for the annual Victory Shield competition for under 16s does not contain a single City player.

To be fair, I imagine a fair few of the u17s qualify for that one too?

True.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
I've noticed that Zimba hasn't been in the Newport squad for their last few matches. Anyone know if he's injured, or just dropped?
King's also only been coming in for the last quarter of an hour in Crewe's last couple of games.

Doesn't look like it.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
No Bagan for the u21s today, will he be involved against Watford?
-
Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
I wonder if one of the trialists is the one who created the goal at Watford?

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
HT Watford lead 1 - 0 (Leahy 6')

5 - 0 now. (82 mins)
We might struggle to win this one!

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
The under 21s haven’t got a bad record this season, but that’s the third time we’ve conceded five in a game now.

£4 if you want to watch the u21s v Charlton right now https://www.charltonafc.com/charlton...hase-your-pass

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
We're 1-0 up already - goal scored by L Peake according to Flashscore, trialist according to ccfc Twitter.
There's a 20 year old midfielder called Lennon Peake currently at West Ham. Presumably him.

Bagan starts. I guess that means he won't be in the team (or squad?) on Saturday.
Odd line up. Who is playing CB alongside Benjamin?

Shame - I'd replace Nkounkou with Bagan.
It is odd - 3 full backs and a centre back.
