Sorry to be a pedant, but I’ve got to use this thread! City Under 23s we’re 2-0 down at half time to West Brom, but two goals in two minutes early in the second half for Isaac Vassell and Kieron Evans (his first appearance of the season) has us level at 2-2.
4-2 now! Vassell & Zimba
do you know what the full lineup was?

Peppa Pig has taken over Poulton Park

Cardiff City U23: Ratcliffe, D'Almeida, T. Davies, Patten, Denham, Connolly, Evans, Trialist, Vassell, Colwill, Murphy.
Subs: Hughes, Luthra, Zimba, and five Trialists.
Original tweet deleted by City. Named Marly Watkins in the side not trialist, as in second tweet.
Did Vassell last the full 90 minutes?
Dunno, he played for at least sixty five minutes - I would have thought Zimba came on for either him or Murphy.
Five Trialists
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle doves
and a partridge in a pear tree.
Lots of unfamiliar names in the City Academy team which has just started their season with a visit to Hull - Rubin Colwill’s brother is a sub for them.
City 1-0 up thanks to a goal by one of those unfamiliar names, Morgan Wigley.
Caleb Hughes made it 2-0 early in the second half and that's how it stayed until the 84th minute and yet we ended up losing 3-2!
Rabbi Matondo's brother was on the bench too but didn't get on.
Interesting start for the Academy boys today, that must've been a long journey home. The under-23s play Wigan at home on Monday, 1.00 kick off.
Why on earth is the academy travelling so far?
Surely it would make sense to regionalise these fixtures ?
There is a north league and south league of ten teams each. As I understand it, City’s league programme consists of home and away matches against the other sides in the southern section and one game againsteach of the sides in the northern group, making a total of twenty seven matches before the end of season Play Offs. The nine matches against the northern teams are played in the first and last months of the season, with the shorter away journeys being played in the autumn and winter.
As TOBW says, they are regionalised to a degree but the North/South split makes for some anomalies. Hull are in the North division so we only have to play them once a season but they're the only team in that section that are further away from us than both Ipswich and Colchester who we have to play twice because they're in the South division. Similarly, they both have to play Swansea twice a season but only get to play Peterborough once because they're in the North division. It probably could be organised a bit better but I guess there's no easy answer.
Could that limit exposure to different tactics? Probably only a very small scale if at all.
Wouldn't that make first away trip at senior level a novel experience? Think this is more likely and has downsides.
When's the next meeting to ask how step up to Tier 1 Academy going?
Anyone watching the Under 23 match - if so, is the stream as useless for you as it is for me?
No problems with mine.
Yes. Kept cutting out and freezing through the first half. Now the picture has given up altogether - with a stuttering audio still going.
Edit: Now the audio has gone too.
Picture back in time for the Evans goal!
Yeah, I saw the goal - an assist by Jamie Carragher's son (nice ball by Tom Davies mind).Picture back in time for the Evans goal!
