The U23s have got Burnley at home (Leckwith) 1 oclock this afternoon if you fancy popping down with the kids
Free admission
The lunchtime game with Burnley is being streamed by the club as usual.
No first team squad members in the team today, no trialists either.
On YouTube again. Was more stable last time than the Cardiff City TV streams.

1-0 Cardiff. Great goal from Conte
Ashford looks to be a different class. Wasn't sure Conte meant that finish, but give him credit on the replay he knew exactly what he was doing.
Thought the goalkeeper could have done a bit better with it, but a lovely goal - well worked and a neat finish.
1-1 Direct breakaway seconds after a very good run from Semenyo.
Burnley the better side for me..
2-1 Burnley
1-2. Trying to play the passing from the back game and caught out.
Burnley look physically stronger. Struggling with their press.
Burnley slightly better in the first half but one way traffic second half. Not sure if Ashford picked up a knock or was a tactical decision. Defense seems very uncomfortable playing out from the back once Burnley cottoned on to the fact they could be pressured.
Their press is a lot better - I trust taking Ashford off wasn’t a tactical change
Maybe scouts at the game? In all fairness I think Jefferies has shown some decent stuff coming on, but clearly a very different player to Ashford and City have found it significantly more difficult to maintain possession since.
“Deep block” is another one to come through in recent seasons. Anyway, whatever you want to call the press, they’ve done it better than us - 2-1 flattered us.
Was impressed by Owen Pritchard as summariser, he knew his stuff.
2-1 to Burnley FT. Good game though.
