    He's another one with a good future behind him here. Just seems to have disappeared. I saw him score a great free kick for the under-21s a while back but even by then his progress seemed to be stalling. Hard to be critical of the player or the club unless you know all the details but it's bewildering what happens to some of them.

    Ntazana Mayembe was about 15 when Bellamy was playing him for the u-18s, looked a good prospect. Signed a contract here in 2020 and made the bench for at least one first team game. Got called up by Zambia for three games and made his debut in the last one, against Senegal (Diedhiou came on for them). He started missing a lot of games at youth level here and there were rumours about him causing some problems. We released him in 2022. He then played for Goytre and now, apparently, plays for Garw SBGC near Bridgend. Make sense of that.

    He went on loan to Connahs Quay Nomads but has not played for them yet, so I presume he has a long-term injury

    Odd one this. There's a Caleb Hughes lurking around up there but I'm not sure if he's our one or not.

    This site suggests he's a 19-year-old from Wrexham.

    https://www.transfermarkt.com/connah...s/verein/27028

    But this one says he's the City player

    https://www.playmakerstats.com/match...n-town/9924597

    I haven't seen a site saying they've got two Caleb Hughes so I'm not sure what's occurring.

    We’re in Andy Goram territory here.

    Usually when a player goes on loan they are banished from the team lists on the main site but our Caleb Hughes is still there. Perhaps he's moonlighting.

    As you state above there are two Caleb Hughes the Cardiff one is Caleb Grant Hughes dob 22 Oct 2003, and the Wrexham one is Caleb Sabian Hughes dob 8th September 2004, and it looks like Connahs Quay signed both. but more than likely the stats site has got it wrong.

    Funnily enough, that's the game I linked to. My link says it's our one on the bench, yours says it's the Wrexham one but your squad list says it's our one there. Maybe these sites are using Horizon for their stats?

    I've got a day off coming up. I'm hoping I'm not sad enough to phone Connahs Quay to find the answer but I can't rule it out at this stage.

    I found the Caleb Hughes (our one) free kick against QPR from a couple of years ago. It's at around 1.00 on this compilation. He'd only just come on if I remember rightly. His goal is sandwiched by two centre-forward finishes from James Crole which will help you understand why me, TOBW and others are frustrated that he hasn't pushed on here.

    Playing Sweden at 10.00 tomorrow morning in their second game. Sweden also won their first match 2-1.

    The u-19s lost a friendly to Belgium 1-0 today. As mentioned in the u-21 thread, five of our lads started (as did Lewis Benjamin). The other two came on as subs in the second half (as did Biancheri). They play a second friendly with Belgium on Monday.

    Good win for the u19s in Belgium today. A strong Bluebird contingent again. Former Bluebird Biancheri with the only goal.

    That’s a very good win allied to a defeat by the same score a few days earlier - so, it would seem that were very dvenly matched at that age group with a country that has been a European powerhouse in the last decade and more.

    Supposedly it was quite a comfortable win according to this: https://x.com/dragonsoccernr/status/...588527259?s=20

    DragonSoccer is a great resource for news on Welsh youth teams if you don't use it already

    That group certainly seems talented, and they were missing possibly the pick of the bunch in Charlie Crew, hopefully they can develop to their full potential

    The under-17s play their last game at 10.00 tomorrow morning against Bulgaria. A win will guarantee them at least second place in the group.

    Does it? I read that we were qualifying at 2-0, so the goal for Bulgaria didn’t change that did it?
