That's a poor result, Cardiff have lost their best u23s from the start of the season on loan. Lost 6-1 to a young Charlton side last week. Fair result? Sounds like the trialists didn't cover themselves in glory

It was a poor performance, Cardiff the better side and deserving of their win. Pretty embarrassing from Shipley getting sent off for dissent in a youth game, especially as there wasn’t anything to moan about.

Was it a straight red, on top of the yellow he received earlier?

Called the ref a c unit for not giving a foul on a teammate in the build up to Cardiff's winner
Don't think our management took this game too seriously
The trialists only showed up on the day
We are already in the playoffs apparently

As a fairly experienced player he should have known if he could get away with it with the ref daft really.

I think both Shipley and Jones will be moved on in the Summer anyway.

It must be pretty difficult to impress in a trial like that. Does Robins watch the trialists?

Yeah I think if you're going to go down that route it's much more beneficial from a recruitment POV to look at trialists over the course of a few weeks rather than just one game as even the best players can have stinkers.

But I guess on the whole experienced coaches can quickly gauge those who aren't worth taking a closer look at and those that perhaps are. Also I'd imagine, as shown by yesterday's game, we'll probably look at a fair few between now and the summer window so really if they're going to be kept on longer they need to impress off the bat.
