Good news. Will be massive having him back.

Hopefully Harris isn't rushing him back into the team!

by **Forever Blue** » Mon Jan 11, 2021 2:14 pm

CLOSE! Rubin Colwill's shot from inside the area is saved well. (0-0)

by **Forever Blue** » Mon Jan 11, 2021 2:27 pm

Sam Bowen's effort from distance just wide of the mark. (0-0)

by **Forever Blue** » Mon Jan 11, 2021 2:33 pm

Chanka Zimba's shot is deflected over the bar, earning the #Bluebirds a corner-kick. (0-0)

by **davids** » Mon Jan 11, 2021 2:47 pm

I wonder if their player Lucas Ness goes by the nickname "Luke"?

Luke Ness - a monster of a player!

I'll get my coat.

39' - An early change for the #Bluebirds as Caleb Hughes replaces Jordi Osei-Tutu. (0-0)

by **worcester_ccfc** » Mon Jan 11, 2021 2:54 pm

Sounds like Osei-Tutu was rushed back too early.

Charlton Atletic FC

A young Addicks going in at half-time 0-0

by **Forever Blue** » Mon Jan 11, 2021 3:09 pm

The hosts take the lead as Juior Quitirna scores from a free-kick. (1-0) :cry:

by **stickywicket** » Mon Jan 11, 2021 3:38 pm

Let's hope it was planned substitution.
Unlikely though.

Or maybe the plan was to just give him 30 minutes and he managed 39
Unless of course worcester is aiding our coaches and is there watching
Honestly what an obvious biased oppinion /assumption
Once again condemn the club at all costs hmmm

For anyone interested in facts our team was also a very young side playing at under 23s level
Last i heard we were 4 nil down with 5 minutes to go
Against a london league 1 club charlton athletic not that long ago a championship club ?
Just for some balance on the thread

The future doesn't look very bright does it?

Only a couple of years ago my nephew was attached to both City and Swansea academy. He trained with the Jacks at Heath park here in Cardiff, WTF? And trained with city at Jenner park in Barry. Why were the Jacks training local kids right in the centre of Cardiff FFS?

I thought the academy was being sorted every year for the last few, it seems it hasn't, disgusting.

"Why were the Jacks training local kids right in the centre of Cardiff FFS? " because they can, the same as Cardiff holding training sessions at Llandarcy .

Well maybe because the Jacks are bringing through better youngsters than us, we ought to train kids closer to home don't you think?

this. .our team is very young.... every game i read this, but if we are un competitive for this reason maybe we shouldnt have had such a big clear out....the older boys might not have been deemed quite good enough but if the youngsters are just going to be physically rolled over every week what exactly are they learning....

Correct we play a mixture of 17,18,19 and sometimes a couple of first team players , but so are the other clubs doing the same and most of them from the lower leagues.
For me it shows their is not that many good players coming through abd that’s been now happening for years and very very worrying..
