    In the FA youth cup they will cover it live on the twitter feed. I think Ian Liddle has already said he will be providing live updates.

    DEfinitely going, hoping for an antidote to Saturday, but Cardiff's youth team is usually quite strong. I expect Ahearne Grant to play, not sure if it's a good thing to disturb the Lookman/Umerah partnership.

    Cardiff scored a late screamer to win 1-0. We were apparently the better team throughout, but it wasn't meant to be.

    Look forward to hearing FHB's report.

    You've just summed it up, SuperC. The bloke behind me kept saying Cardiff were going to do a smash and grab, and so it proved. A very good performance by the lads, could have won 3-0 on another day but no complaints, we needed a goal but couldn't get it. Our back 4 dealt very well with Cardiff's attack, although Archie Edwards looked a bit out of sorts, I think he'll be brought on slowly because of his slight physique. KAH had a good game but should have scored a header in the first half. It's disappointing not to have a Cup run to look forward to, we've had a few of those in recent years.

    I will just echo what Forest said, we were the better side, but like the First team we couldn't find a goal. We are usually a bit more clinical at U18 level. I thought Brandon Hanlon gave Cardiff a few problems. I like the look of Lookman, but it wasn't to be.

    What was the attendance like ? I was hoping for over 1,000 given they advertised it on the tannoy v Blackpool.

    535 according to the OS. I'm sure it would have broken the 1000 barrier had it been a better draw.
