Bluebirds preparing for South Wales derby
Cardiff's under-23s head west to face Swansea City on Monday in another instalment of the South Wales derby rivalry.
The young Bluebirds have started the season superbly, having won their opening seven games of the campaign.
Matthew Bloxham will be leading the side on Monday night, who emphasised that the pathway to the first team is now wide open for Cardiff's next generation.
"We had another excellent result last week, which is testament to the squad's work and mentality thus far in the campaign," he said.
"For them now it's a case of not being complacent, and making sure that they continue to perform as they have been week in, week out, both as individuals and as a team.
"There's a strong group dynamic in the squad, and characters who push the standards higher. Ultimately, they're all there for each other, which is an ideal environment for these players and their development.
"We want our players to set out and stick to the plan that we've laid ahead of kick-off and in training this week. They want to continue to perform as they have been all season and as ever, our main concern is the performance in the fixture at hand. The pathway is there for them to advance further, both in this team and beyond, so it's up to them to showcase their ability by performing well on Monday night."

Well done to the Lads

Even more impressive if you remember the number of our U23s not playing last night as they are in the first team squad !!

A marvellous winning run, but just to get everything into focus - before kickoff how weak or strong was the Scumsea team versus the City’s. Anyone have an educated opinion?

Here's the league table. They're second from bottom.

Cooper, Williams and Dhanda have all featured for their first team recently.
Cooper was with County last season I think and did well for them. The 3 mentioned above are no mugs. I think their keeper Webb is a Welsh Under 21 international
So not a bad side. They’ve got a fair fee that they’ve signed from other clubs in the summer there
