We were there last night and the Charlton goalie was hilarious, all he kept shouting virtually all night was 'left shoulder, left shoulder' with the occasional 'right shoulder' thrown in for good measure. Me and the missus were p*ssing ourselves, I don't even think any of his team mates were listening either.

 

Good resounding win for the U18's.

 

U23's away today at Cardiff, tough place to go, and can they get their first win of the season?

Last Time Out: Huddersfield Town U23s 1 Cardiff City U23s 2
The Bluebirds registered a second successive league win with a 2-1 win away at Huddersfield Town last week.

Jarred Harvey opened the scoring after 12 minutes, heading home a cross from the left before Cardiff doubled their lead on the hour mark through a trialist.

With 22 minutes left of play, the home side pulled a goal back. Substitute George Danaher was the man to score, giving the hosts a lifeline in the closing stages.

However, this proved to be merely a consolation for Frankie Bunn’s side as the Bluebirds defiantly held out for the three points.

Cardiff: Byrne, Trialist, Duffus, Veale (C), Trialist, Young, Davies, Waite, Trialist, Trialist, Trialist.
Subs: Jones, Burwood, Wootton, Proctor, Bowen.

Previous Meeting: Hull City U23s 2 Cardiff City U23s 1
Jarrod Bowen’s first half brace saw the Tigers claim a third league victory of the Professional Development League season with a 2-1 win over Cardiff City on Monday night.

The 19-year-old opened the scoring in the seventh minute, applying the finishing touch to an impressive team move after good play from Johan Ter Horst and Greg Olley left the former Hereford United youngster with a simple finish from inside the six-yard box.

The Tigers - and Bowen - were not waiting too long for a second goal of the evening, which came just past the half way point of the opening 45 minutes. Daniel Batty’s superb free-kick picked out the wide-man in the middle, and he planted an unstoppable header past Luke O'Reilly in the Cardiff goal.

City were in complete control of proceedings at the Eon Visual Media Stadium at half-time, but gifted the visitors a route back into the game seven minutes after the restart. Sloppy play at the back saw the Tigers concede possession midway inside their own half and Luke Humphries made them pay with a crisp finish that gave Will Mannion no chance whatsoever.

The much-improved Bluebirds applied plenty of pressure as they went in search of an equalising goal in order to maintain an impressive start to the new season that had brought four wins in their first four games, but the Tigers held on for the three points to inflict a first defeat of the season on the visitors.

Is curry still injured?
Not seen him in either squad

 

Yes, I think he should be back soon, had a cruciate problem.

He's quality, I think he will turn out to be a useful player.

 

Is Liam Edwards injured?

 

Good first half for the boys.

 

Must be, not on the bench either.

 

Finished Cardiff 1-2 City, first win of the season and a good result there.
