Cardiff City Development Squad

If like me, anyone didn't know the score from the Newport friendly, I just watched the highlights

13-0 to the bluebirds with Mason scoring 6! :lol:

As always, apologies if this has already been posted up! I had a quick look and couldn't see anything!

While the result is great, it does indicate that our DVP squad needs to be playing at a higher level. Looking at the quality of the opposition, I think the only thing our players would get out of a game like that is match fitness. Our youngsters need to be playing much better opposition to be prepared for professional league football.

Does anyone know the time frame in which we aim to get level 1 academy status is? It will be a great achievement by this club when we get there.

We do, we play in a Developmental league. This was just a friendly I guess.
