7 - Hisham Chiha puts the visitors ahead. (0-1)

12 - GOAL!!!

Joel Colwill sets up the goal beautifully with an overlapping run into the area, before Cody Twose strikes! (1-1)


35 - City lead!!!

Joel Colwill finishes well from inside the area! (2-1)


36 - Nyakuhwa adds another!

It's two goals in two minutes for City, as Tanatswa strikes past Will Blackmore! (3-1)
41 - Colwill bags a brace!

It's a great finish from the midfielder, who puts away City's fourth from inside the area! (4-1)

77 -
@tan_nyakuhwa10
gets his second!

It's terrific buildup from the young #Bluebirds, with Tanatswa on hand to tap home at the end! (5-1)

U21 | It's two wins on the bounce for the young #Bluebirds, following an impressive performance at CCS!

Doesn’t look like Giles played if that’s the team? Or am I not seeing it?

I still believe that Darren Purse needs to move on and we def need a better a coach.

I agree with that, great performance today but due to a couple of very good prospects.

I'm not a fan of the approach he has in games, don't really have a good style of play often the lads don't have a plan b.


Good game today though I actually really enjoyed it the striker up top looks like a good raw talent

Great result today especially without Ashford, Conte and Giles.

But I still don’t think Purse should stay due to the other results over the season.

There is no other reason for an U21 (not U23) squad other than providing players for Cardiff City's first-team sqaud..... Winning pointless games or leagues is meaningless. No idea if Posh are any good or if it was their U18's, who knows

I guess Issak Davies and Rubin C are before his time, but Saturdays winner was made in the U23's.

Rubin, Issak D, Ashford, J Colwill, Conte, Giles, Denham, Benjamin, Bagan & Evans could all be pissing the regional U23 league, but what would it demonstrate?

No idea if Purse is any good at his job, but we have a little conveyor belt at the moment, maybe Bellers youth policy, who can quantify.

With respect, that’s bullshit.

The class of 92 at Man Utd are often talked about. Well that team of Giggs, Beckham, Scholes, the two Nevilles, Savage etc won the FA Youth Cup.

Good management at that level (shown by success) improves their chance of being top players.
