City’s U18’s are back in Professional Development League action as they welcome Bristol City to Cardiff International Sports Campus.
The fixture will take place on Saturday, October 17th, kicking off at 11am.
PRE-MATCH | HARRI DAVIES
“We’ve had a positive start to the season, coming off the back of a number of good results in pre-season, we felt really strong as a squad and fortunately, we've managed to keep that momentum up.
“It's really important for us as a defensive unit to keep clean sheets in order to give us an increased chance of winning the game. So, we've got to continue working hard throughout the week and then every weekend we’ll look to get another clean sheet on the board.
“The new boys have been great; we’ve shown them around the club and what it means to play for City. As second year scholars, we naturally step into a bit more of a leadership role and we try to push each other as hard as we can both in games and in training.
“Bristol City are a tough, direct side and we know that they will present a challenge, so we've got to get out and win the first and second contacts, keep the ball on the floor and ultimately try to get a few goals.
“There's a good energy around the changing room at the minute, we believe in our capabilities as a squad and know that we can put on good performances which we've already shown throughout the season so far. We're just looking forward to getting back out there, showing what we can do and gaining another three points.”
RECENT RESULTS
Last time out, City suffered a 5-1 defeat away to Charlton, a result that saw the high-flying Addicks climb to second in the league as City found themselves down to fifth.
Prior to this, City made the long trip south where they faced Plymouth Argyle and came away with a valuable point in a 1-1 draw.
Gruff Evans netted the side's only goal of the game, despite numerous chances falling the way of the young Bluebirds, and so City returned to the Welsh capital with another point under their belt.
