Pre-Season Match Preview | West Bromwich Albion U23 vs. Cardiff City U23



City's U23 team continue their preparations for the upcoming campaign with a trip to face the Baggies on Tuesday, August 2nd, 2021.

Cardiff City

The Bluebirds' last run-out on July 22nd resulted in a narrow 3-2 loss to Paulton Rovers. Chanka Zimba netted once more for City in the fixture, scoring his third of the pre-season.

With a starting 11 featuring several players who have appeared on the bench for the First Team over the past few weeks, including Rohan Luthra, Taylor Jones, Oliver Denham, Ibrahim Bakare, James Connolly, Tavio D’Almeida and Zimba, City lead before the interval through the striker.

However, after heading towards a 2-2 draw thanks to two equalisers from the hosts, a last-gasp winner for Paulton proved the final action of the encounter following an entertaining 90 minutes for the young City side.

A tough first half for the #Bluebirds, with few chances for City to make their mark thus far.

Very strong team.

I wonder how many minutes Vassell will play before he get injured again. I think I read from Roger aka Igovernor that if he gets another big injury he's going to retire and we'll claim some money on insurance?


Good to see Colwill playing after just coming back from his break after the Euros. I expect he'll play a couple of U23 games to get some match fitness and then be back with the first team squad.

Not sure where Murphy will stand this season now we're bringing in a new wide player as well as having Giles. Wouldn't be surprised if Murphy's game time is limited, he's been far too inconsistent. If the new wide player is Watkins, then Murphy will probably still play as he's better than Watkins.

2-2 at the moment. Isaac Vassell scores on 47 mins from the restart and Kieron Evans equalises on 49 minutes two quick goals. Hopefully Vassell injuries are behind him.


47' - GOAL!!! Isaac Vassell nets right away for the #Bluebirds! (2-1)

He's trebled his tally with us in one game...!

On a more serious note, I'm glad the doom and gloomers have been proven wrong (at this point) and Vassell is back on the pitch making a scoring contribution...

Long may it last...!

5 trialists at this stage of the season. Who are they and do they have anything to bring to the team.
