100% honest question - I believe the term is "Cardiff fan in peace" but I don't know if you guys will accept that. How many of this lot; Swansea City: Zabaret, Alfei, Shepherd, Jones, Tancock (capt), Gogic, Gorre (Hedges 82), Lucas, Scott, Donnelly, Loveridge (Meade 65). Subs not used: Davies, Evans, Jones are either in or anywhere near your 1st team squad? To be honest I dont think I've heard of any of them. This is no kind of wind up as we 'won' the development game, we had a couple of our PL 25 involved and was just wondering if you'd matched that.
"100% honest question",and "in peace", would you have bothered creating this thread had you not "won" the game? Why would you have "heard of any of them",since they are a Development Squad. By way of comparison,and being equally "honest",your first team now play in the Premier League,and I haven't heard of most of them.
Alfei & Donnelly have played in the first team. I've seen a couple of the others in reserve games when they played them at Parc Y Scarlets. Scott (?) Tancock and Lee (?) Lucas looked quite promising. I would imagine Gorre is not far off the first team squad - came from Man Utd I think.
Donnelly looked promising enough a couple of weeks back, he was given a run out with the first team and he was speedier than I thought he was and his eagerness was top notch. He managed to get a goal but it was rightly (and grudgingly) disallowed. To be honest I think our Development team's biggest problem is the coach, our first team has shown that even if as an individual you are inferior to your opposition then our style of play can overcome that. I believe it is time to put somebody else in charge of the youngsters.
Says more about you than me that reply. I don't give a toss about development results just players. If I'd come on a wumming mission I'd have done a better job and not used a training match to do it! To everyone else that took the question as it was intended, thank you. I was just working out if you'd played all kids. Getting interested in Harris who scored for us, he's scored a load for the DVp squad and must be getting close to some sort of chance.
