Good win for the 18s at Fleetwood. Another penalty against. Plenty against across the teams. Have we had any for us? https://tv.cardiffcityfc.co.uk/videos/c772201a-7e4c-4091-94f6-96e72f56c966
The 18s and 21s results are all the more impressive when you think how many are with the first team. With a couple more out on loan, it won't get any easier for them.
Given the number of players taken by thev1st team, a creditable draw for the 21s against udders yesterday. Their free kick to open the scorer was a blinder. Good build up play for a couple of our chances. https://tv.cardiffcityfc.co.uk/videos/9e21f11a-0060-489c-8ff5-39913b9ec75c
City under 21's beat Watford away this afternoon 0-2......... Troy Perret got one of them so he won't be involved for the first team tomorrow. https://www.watfordfc.com/news/2025/september/19/under-21-watford-0-2-cardiff-city/
Very strange (almost spookey) that our under 21's are playing Burnley tomorrow night at the same time we're playing them in the Carabao Cup. Does that mean we'll be starting a lot of senior players up there rather than youngsters, or will Pursey have a to make do with the under 18 squad?
Credit to the accademy coaches. It must be rewarding to see the fruits of their labour in the 1st team, but it must be frustrating to keep having the heart ripped out of their teams. Recent results suggest there is a conveyor of players coming in behind. I know they recruited for the accademy in the summer, and you can see why they needed to.
After twice being behind, the 18s secure a 2-4 win at Coventry. And we actually got awarded a penalty. https://tv.cardiffcityfc.co.uk/videos/4072772f-82b2-4ff4-bfd8-0736ab51b9c7
The production line continues - another feather in the cap for our academy with a resounding win earlier today................. https://www.cardiffcityfc.co.uk/news/u17-cardiff-city-6-0-port-vale
21s suffer a 1-2 defeat against Burnley, a reverse of the 1st team scoreline. Plenty half chances, a couple of defensive errors, a cracker for their opener. Always entertaining. https://tv.cardiffcityfc.co.uk/videos/e9c84f68-7bbb-4260-a413-72664634accc
Despite our CB getting sent off in the middle of the 1st half for a cynical foul (hauling back their player who was 1 on 1 with our keeper), our 10 remaining under 18s dug deep, kept creating chances and scored 2 good goals. Final score, 2-0. https://tv.cardiffcityfc.co.uk/videos/d564cc0e-fa4a-44a6-b926-021fcc61db8e
4-0 win for the 21s against Millwall. Perret, George and Barton showing up well. Jake Davis moved up front and showing plenty of gas. 16 year old Tankiewicz off the bench. Playing 5 years up and has already trained with the 1st team. Can imagine Barton going out on loan soon. Another who has trained with the 1st team. Its taken a while, but the sausage machine is in full flow now. https://tv.cardiffcityfc.co.uk/videos/dd24de46-8db9-461f-b905-e080b4b91185
2 games in a few days for the 21s. Hard on the legs. A young team, but a win in difficult conditions against the Wurzels. No highlights yet, but an interesting interview with Purse and footage of the goals. He, along with the rest of the accademy staff, must be delighted to see so many of their products in and around the 1st team. Makes winning games more difficult for them though. https://tv.cardiffcityfc.co.uk/videos/7d38c48b-9a59-451f-875a-d92b066f77cb
