Another good win for the U21s in the Nathaniel MG Cup 2nd round, 3-1 over Pontypridd. Should've been more apparently. Reindorf with a hat-trick.
He's impressed every time I've seen him so far. I shared the below when we signed him but worth sharing again. Really highly rated by Norwich fans 12 months ago, not sure what went wrong. Maybe u23s until end of December and see how he gets on, then an L1/L2 loan for second half of the the season.Originally Posted by Bluebirdman Of Alcathays

First time I've seen him tonight and that report rings true. Loads of energy, a good physique, powerful, skilful and a real handful. No idea what's stopped him from progressing but there seems to be a lot of potential there. Very promising.
A decent performance, we were by far the better side but struggled to work the keeper enough. Still early in the season, understandable if things aren't quite flowing yet but there were plenty of good signs there. The full backs were impressive, Spiers won a late penalty and Beecher is rapid.
All very fluid, Mafico popped up everywhere, including at right back to let Spiers hang around as a number 10 for a while. I saw him do that for Kpakio last season too. Other players were rotating as well. It gives me a nosebleed to be honest but everyone seems comfortable with it. Should be an interesting season at that level.
Cheers for that. Sounds promising. Might still lose a few of these lads to loans yet which might hinder the fluidity but could be a fun watch this year.
Hopefully Reindorf will be involved somewhere along the line against Bristol Rovers in the League Cup - it’s beginning to sound as if he’s too good for under 21 level already and I wonder if we might see him loaned out before the window closes or, failing that, he may be loaned to a National League side, where the window doesn’t apply, sometime in the autumn.
He was on loan at Kettering last season and they play in the Southern League Premier Division Central. There's obviously a bit of a backstory here but if there's been an attitude or fitness problem with him in the past then there was no sign of it last night. I've only seen him the once so I won't get too carried away yet but I'll be interested to see what you and others make of him when the league games start up.

Under 21 losing to Villa 2-3 at half time

That's how it finished. Another goal for Reindorf, Wigley with the other.
Kpakio, Tom Davies, Ashford and Kieron Evans all started. Giles and Beecher started on the bench, we're covered for left backs at that level.
City's first under 21 league game of the season this lunchtime with Sheffield Wednesday visiting Cardiff City Stadium for a midday kick off - free entry to anyone who wants to go along, but I can't find any confirmation yet that the match will be streamed.

The game is being streamed.
Wonder if we'll try and sort a loan for Ashford, isn't really an obvious route for him into the team at the moment
I think he’ll be in the squad for the Second Round game if fit. Bulut did say last season that Ashford would be part of the first team squad in 24/25, but I suppose it could happen now depending on whether he gets fit before the window closes and who else we bring in the next few weeks.
1-0 to Wednesday at half time, they scored early could have had a few more but for some good saves. We improved a bit as the half went on, but we can count ourselves lucky to be just the one goal down
City had a real go in the second half and had a lot of possession and territory, but I can’t remember the Wednesday keeper being really tested. It finished 1-0 and really it was like so many first team home games you’ve seen in these last four years or so.
Wednesday were physically much stronger and quicker than City- they were able to swat away City's attacks and win the ball almost at will in defensive areas. It looked like men against boys- hopefully that's reflected in the relative ages of the sides.
Agree with the sentiments posted; SW seemed to be happy to sit back in the 2nd half and it was difficult to find a way through but there were a couple of times where a better final ball could have led to an equaliser. They didn't create much either after the break. Nice to see we have a few players who are able to outpace defenders, and on a couple of occasions a marauding centre-half in Edwards.
City Under 18s 1-0 up against Birmingham at half time, Ossian Rees the scorer.
Charlie Crew on the bench for Leeds in their match today - despite having a much stronger bench than we will be putting out later, I don't think he would have been named on our bench if he was still here
Finished 2-0, Lennon Talbot with the second goal.
Heres the City under 21 team just about to kick off today at Wigan.

What has happened with Morgan Wigley?
He appeared to be on the verge of a breakthrough (cup games, training with first team) a seasons or two back, but has dropped off the radar. On the bench today.
0 - 2 at H/T - Twose (30) and Jeffries (38)
