Todays development game

Mon Mar 25, 2013 4:04 pm

Final score:

Cardiff 3-1 Ipswich

From watching this game you can just see the promising youth that Cardiff has. Cardiff dominated possesion and restricted Ipswich to just one shot (which ironically was the goal).

Etien gave city the lead on eight minutes with good play on the right as he got past a defender and curled it into the far corner from just outside the box. Soon later it was 2-0 when a Cardiff corner eventually met Rhys Healy who couldn't miss inside the box. The third came for Cardiff when Mason's shot was deflected and went high in the air and to the goalkeepers terrible error it was a header from Theo Wharton to extend the lead. Ipswich then scored a fluke that came against the run of play from a counter attack.

The whole team performed very well today and I'd like to praise the good movement made by the full backs (Coulson and Owen) because their speed and distribution was perfect. Harris on the wing was also causing trouble. Oshilaja and Yorwerth in defence were solid and won nearly every ball. Theo Wharton was another who stood out and probably one of Cardiffs biggest prospects.

Overall a very entertaining game and I hope to see these players being a success with our senior squad.

It says on the website that it was Kiss so I'm probably wrong.

By 3 points I believe.

Etien scoring again, still showing his work hard ethic.
