    Exactly. Whenever I see the u21s our own products look better than these signings who are often older! All these guys are doing is blocking younger players' development

    Marvellous goal by Leahy, but great chasing from Wigley to win the ball back and pull the ball back in the first place.

    Superb goal from twenty five yards from Jack Leahy - somehow, City are 4-3 up!

    Swansea, who’ve not used any subs, look out on their feet.

    Who was the manager who took the u21s on a record breaking run, what’s he doing these days.

    Finished 4-3, credit to City for coming back and for some good substitutions, but we used a few games worth of luck up this afternoon.

    Imagine what sort of state we'll be in if the 1st team derby is like that!

    We’ve beaten them at under 18s, under 21s and women’s team level in the past few weeks - it’s in the bag, Swansea may as well concede

    Leahy likely to make the first team bench on a regular basis soon ?

    A bit of dishonesty in the Swansea match report:

    https://www.swanseacity.com/news/rep...ea-city-u21s-3

    The penalty drama didn’t stop there as moments later, the Swans were awarded a spot-kick up the other end for a handball. Cotterill was the one to convert for the Swans, pulling a goal back to halve the deficit.

    In the aftermath, the visitors were reduced to 10 men. As a melee between Josh Thomas and Cardiff keeper Matthew Turner saw the striker dismissed.


    'A melee'? Makes it sound like a 50:50 tussle and their player was dismissed for no obvious reason.

    At best it was a push in the face; at worst a punch. Right in front of the (admittedly poor) referee. Clear red, no argument.

    Excellent game. Better side lost.
    Lovely right hook to fell our goalie.
    That open goal miss must be the worst I've ever seen.

    More than a little misleading!

    This is our winner against Watford. Cracking run and cross to Conte. Can't work out who it is though. I think they're wearing 1-11 numbers, so 12 makes him a sub. It's obviously not the goalie Turner or Conte, and the other subs were Macnamara and Wigley, who I don't think it is, and a trialist. If it's the trialist, he looks good.

    Think that’s the trialist.

    The consequences of signing 17 players! An under 21 side almost completely devoid of academy products

    I make that 7 of our "best transfer window ever" in that starting XI?

    Why are we weakening our u21s with that lot?

    Apologies I think it may be 6, not 7. Alnwick, Campbell, Antwi, Tanner, Etete, Philogene

    Though Benjamin was also signed this summer
