I still maintain our u21s are very poor. The players we loaned out last season didn't look a "level above" when playing down the leagues. Players on the fringe of the first team are not kicking on as they have in the past. Hopefully the two we have up in Scotland this season will develop but I have serious concerns regarding our whole player development structure and culture. Either that or the talent is just not there, which I doubt. [Post edited 11 Sep 9:27]

prior to this game, I had a feeling that they were gonna beat us. The bookies are them as favourite at events at the end of the day all it is is a friendly tournament and good experience for the kids playing against adults. Going further into the tournament if we had come up against TNS again, they would've smashed us a bit anyway. Does anyone know if we are allowed to field any adults in anyway.
Or is it strictly just the under 21s?
This tournament would be a lot more attractive to fans if we could feild a couple of first team players. See how youngsters play with the integrated squad.
If this was the case, we could've potentially have had a South Wales Derby. Like like the FA Cup in England we could've done the final at the principality Stadium think of the trickle down then if they share the ticket revenue with grass roots football in Wales.
On top clubs like TNS would actually have a challenge and definitely sell the ground out when the likes of US Cardiff ,Newport and Wrexham come to town.
The tournament in its current format isn't really appealing. To be fair, a lot of our youngsters have gone out loan. That is the right thing to do as these kids are not really developing in the youth development league.
The only thing that would pull fans in is a chance to see our youth players at close, but like I just alluded to without at least a couple of the adults playing when we played the bigger side it's just men versus boys. [Post edited 11 Sep 15:03]
