Under-23 Development League

Cardiff City 3, Coventry City 1

Craig Bellamy took charge of Cardiff City’s under-23 development team and there were signs that he has blossoming talent to work with.

The Bluebirds won 3-1 thanks to goals from Semi Ajayi, MacAuley Southam and Mark Harris with Bellamy, their newly-appointed player development manager, looking on thoughtfully from the technical area.

Bellamy shouted encouragement, instructions at times, and the players produced an impressive performance.

A number of Cardiff development players, including Tommy O’Sullivan and Theo Wharton, will be moving on in the near year or closer to the end of this season.

Former Wales and Bluebirds striker Bellamy took the chance to give younger Academy players experience at under-23 level.

Cardiff City’s Under 23 team started their season playing home matches at the club’s training centre in the Vale of Glamorgan, but since mid September the games have been shared at the Leckwith athletics facility and Cardiff City Stadium.

Last night’s game with with Coventry at the latter venue continued a strange trend which has seen results and performance vary greatly depending on where the team were playing. I’ve seen all three matches at Leckwith, with City’s displays getting progressively worse as they’ve drawn two without scoring and lost the other one 1-0 – believe me, if you had sent a naughty young son or daughter to watch one of these matches on a Monday afternoon and then told them they’d go to another one unless they started behaving themselves, you’d soon have a perfectly behaved little cherub or angel on your hands!

When the game is at Cardiff City Stadium though, it’s a different matter completely. After a draw against Sunderland in a match where the Under 23s were always the better team, there have been 3-0 and 4-0 wins over Palace and QPR respectively and now they have a 3-1 victory over a lively Coventry side who could feel that the margin of defeat was harsh on them.

In those earlier conclusive wins over the two London sides, City put out very experienced sides by Development team standards, with a sprinkling of first team squad members involved, but this latest match saw something in line with the sort of selections that have been the norm in recent seasons.

You would have thought that only Declan John out of last night’s ten outfield starters would have a chance, albeit a very slight one, of playing Championship football for us in the short to medium term. Therefore, to beat a Coventry side whose record at this level is a lot better than you would expect from a club where the first team look like they could well be relegated to the Fourth tier this season, was more of an achievement than it may at first appear.

Great to see Ballars back at The City..future manager for sure!

Hopefully, Craig will be listened to (otherwise what is the point of employing him?) and any reprieve would be the proverbial 'kick up the backside' one or two need in order to get their once promising professional careers going!

Football, as they say, is a funny old game and things can change quickly; maybe positively if those on the 'hit list' can string together some good performances over the next few weeks/months

Annis, the one thing we can guarantee is that Craig will have his say! LOL

And long may it continue!

Who's to say he's already made his mind up , and he doesn't want them players ?
Most off the players are now in their early twenties, so perhaps they are not good enough ?

Well, I guess that will all become clear now Craig is on the staff officially

Exactly, can't believe some people forget he has been around in an unofficial capacity for a while so will have had a good look who he thinks will cut it.
