BBM:

“There will be changes for the Vertu Trophy game on Tuesday, I might be the tinkerman for that.”

“We have a very select squad but we have competition in almost every area. So all these players have to feel like they can play if they train like Perry and Calum have been.”




Injury Update:

Ollie Tanner is out for 4 months.

Eli King out for the season.


Alex Robertson 50-50

Competition Format

As this isn't a competition we're used to, this is a brief explanation of the format.

We will play three games. Exeter and Arsenal U21s at home, Newport away. The top two in the group progress to the knockout stages.

A win in 90 minutes gives three points, with a defeat giving no points. If scores are level at 90 minutes then a penalty shootout will take place with the winners getting two points and the losers getting one point.

Exeter City are now in their fourth successive season in League One, having been promoted from League Two in 2022.

Expect a youthful team and likely defeat

Expect a youthful team and likely defeat

I thought the same before the season started but then BBM played a strong team in the Carabao Cup games.

Wouldn't surprise me if Osho was involved as he didn't play today.

Nyakuhwa, Mafico, Davies, Giles, Turner, Robinson etc could all be in the team.

Totally agree.

Chambers Ng Robinson Davies Osho Turner Robertson, reckon they’ll all be involved, then fill it up with Giles, Nyakhuma etc

43 miles for me

Our first Vertu Trophy fixture will take place at Exeter City on Tuesday, September 16th, 7pm kick-off.

Brian Barry-Murphy:

"It's a competition that we value.

There's certain players that have played a lot of games for us in a short of space of time.

I'm conscious of the fact that they can't play them all and there will definitely be changes for that game."

Def Needs Games :

RB: Perry Ng

The full-back looked a touch rusty at Stockport after having to wait patiently for his first league start this term. A quality player on his day, who simply needs time on the pitch to sharpen up again. Has a huge role to play for City — in all competitions — this season.

Should start v Exeter

Need to get off to a Winning Start

For fans in the UK that aren't travelling to Exeter, tonight's game is live on Sky Sports+.

International fans can watch on Cardiff City TV.

On Sky Sports Plus, yes?

Kick off is 7pm early start .

Hoping it's on city tv for me.

It's not always available in every country even if they say it's available for international viewers, the league cup is an example of that because someone has the rights to it here but they don't show every game, just a select couple of games.

That's why I wrote what I wrote, so yes I did read the whole thread.

I wasn't having a go at anyone.

Just saw a tweet from the club yesterday that said it's available on the club TV for international viewers.

They said the same for the league cup game but it wasn't available on city tv here, I think they say it for FA cup games as well but I need ESPN+ for that & then I need them to show it. I have to have Paramount+ just to watch some league games as well if it's being shown by them.

We haven't played in this competition before so that's why I'm hoping I can watch it on city tv. Can't imagine anyone having the rights to this comp though. Then again I didn't think I wouldn't be able to watch the league cup game either.

I did feel a little attacked by the comment that I didn't read the whole thread when I had, not that it's too important. Here's hoping it works out.

I can get sky sport+ but can’t get the the red button

Very low home crowd

Bluebirds

Giles has a shot saved

Mafico makes a mistake but Turner just about makes the save
