Fair old trek for Sunderland for a morning kick off, unless they’re staying overnight.

Maybe they’ve been down here since last week? Seriously, I don’t think it’s too unusual for an under 21 or 18 side to have overnight stays these days - Ipswich and Colchester are in our league every year and, more often than not, the under 18s kick off at eleven when they’re playing them.

I do hope so, it gives it professional edge that’s needed

Sounds like a good u18s match tonight - just beat Crewe 4-3. Fleming, Ware & 2 for Mpadi.

It's a strong line up with Vontae-Campbell, Bagan, Morrison, Nelson, Sang, Philogene, Rubin Colwill, Isaak Davies and Ollie Tanner all starting.

[valleys caveman]

Nice one

Is that team legal? I know when it used to be under 23s football, you were allowed three outfield players and a keeper to be over age, but they’re taking the piss there.

Have I missed some news? Have we offered Morrison a contract? Is he even a registered Cardiff City player? I agree they're taking the piss today.

[valleys caveman]

Ruben Colwill scores with a free kick. City lead 1-0.

[ninian opinian]

Excellent free kick by Ruben. 1 nil City. Strong team and decent game.

Great minds.

[the other bob wilson]

Colwill with a Whitts like free kick puts us one up. Bit like watching the first team on Saturday until then, plenty of chances, but no finish.

Think all of this talk of embargoes makes it even more likely we’ll sign Morison on a contract - always assuming we can.

[valleys caveman]

Quite a few 'first teamers' playing: Colwill, Davies, Morrison, Sang and Philogene.

Using the u21s to give the first team squad some match time, certainly.

The ages of the starting 11: Luthra (20), Campbell (21), Bagan (21), Morrison (31), Nelson (29), Sang (23), Philogene (20), Colwill (20), Crole (18), Davies (21), Tanner (20).

I don't know how it works. Maybe there's a loophole to be exploited? Agree we'll likely sign him now.

I do find it kind of hilarious seeing a 31 year old in an U21 match though. Legal or not!

Think they need to be twenty one or under at the start of the season, so that team is okay if the same rules apply.

1-0 at half time.

Clever free kick. Everyone was expecting the cross, including the keeper.

I think the embargo has been the reason why we have been seeing so much of him in recent weeks. As an out of contract player we will be able to sign him.

[Former Labour leader]

We can see how much we have been missing Morrison at corners and free kicks. Sunderland can't handle him.
Not so sure about him in defence though. Still looks sluggish.

He can barely move

Only place for him I guess seeing as there's no reserves anymore
