Darren Purse: “ It’s going to be tough “

Darren Purse:




"Afan Lido are a good side and it's going to be a tough test for us.”



Welsh League Cup · First round

Afan Lido not even in the Welsh Premier League, play in a league with Caerau (Ely) FC , Trefelin B.G.C, Baglan , Cwmbran ,Ammanford etc a small club in Port Ralbot.

My View:
For me with the class / quality we have coming through in to the U21’s side, I am expecting at least 5/6 nil Win tomorrow night for the Bluebirds.
And with the 3 /4 new players that have come in and not kids etc come from big clubs.





Ahead of the Nathaniel MG Cup campaign, U21 head coach Darren Purse said:

Darren Purse Manager of Cardiff City’s U21’s



"Afan Lido are a good side and it's going to be a tough test for us."

"I think the best thing about the two pre-season games that we've had so far is that it's prepared us for a competitive game on Friday in the cup. We've tried to get the lads ready to go to Afan Lido and know what they're going to be in for.”

"I watched them last week when they played Briton Ferry Llansawel. They're direct at times, physical and have got some good players. It's important that we handle the physical side of the game. Afan Lido are a good side and it's going to be a tough test for us."

Seems like he's already thrown in the towel & getting us & the team ready for defeat. Even our U21s should easily be beating teams like Afan Lido quite easily.

I do believe we will win, NO way could we even think of losing.
This is a village side.

5 or 6 nil City

Results judge football teams.
DP's results are appalling at best. Not just on the pitch but the coming and going of our youngsters.
We were offered one player for a trial but never even looked at him, and he ended up signing up for Spurs !! (Feeney)

Yes DP is a legend playing for the club, but that counts for nothing when managing a team.

The first statement on here is what he will be judged by.

Results judge football teams. NO if's buts or maybe's, just results. (IMO)

Tough test. Oh my God. He hasn’t a clue. Embarrassing

Agree.

No idea why he’s still in the job.

Don’t know what he has to do to be sacked.

Because Gentlemen who is shitting himself he’s just conceded 10 goals v lower than non league and a Welsh league team, embarrassing

Playing my former club tonight I live only ten minutes drive from the lido ground think I’ll sit on the fence for this one won’t be going over there tonight but if city don’t win I won’t be disappointed but if we win I’ll have a smile on my face
