He actually doesn't look that young. Must be hard being a Trailist keeper.

I saw a trialist GK playing for another team a few years ago
He looked a bag of nerves and made mistake after mistake
None of his team mates were even talking to him by the end
Felt terrible for him

All over, 6-1. Tavares and Newton best players on the pitch.

Cardiff were absolutely Garbaggio

Really good second half. Good to see after a sticky start that we were easily able to beat their press & score at will.

Hope McGrath's injury isn't serious, looked a really nasty clash of heads.

Couldn't understand them pushing up so high with such a slow backline against 2 pacey strikers.

at least he was in our play off final team, so it wasnt all bad

Also noticed one of our lads (maybe Ngandu?) left the pitch on crutches.

And now he plays for Sunderland?

Is Jobello injured again? Or been dropped?

Newton, Burroughs at RWB and Tavares all impressive. Surprised by Tavares's hold-up play for a smaller striker, you can see he has 1st-team experience and knows how much physicality is needed in the mens game.

Also thought Young looked good when he came on for Ngandu. Very calm on the ball and can turn in tight areas.

Wanted more from Bapaga.

Impressed with Burroughs, Reid, Newton, Nee (considering still a scholar). Tavares was absolutely superb. My main concern for him had been his slight build and wasn’t sure whether he would have the strength to make it in the first team. Still needs to bulk up a bit but today with his back to goal was fantastic as was seen with Nee’s goal. Seems a very clever player with lightening pace and was sprinting around just as much in the 90th minute as the 1st. Very exciting prospect

Quiet game for him considering & a few loose touches too. Does show that the clamour for him to be in the first team is still too soon.

Highlights anywhere?

Looks like a few have already been told they’re free to find another club to make way for the younger players. Bremang, Bartlett, Williams etc.

Ryan Howley is 17 and many a big club were chasing him before he signed pro here.

Think that's probably right. One or two have probably already sorted their move but nothing can be finalised until the season finishes
