Certainly showed bags full of potential sludge, by no means the finished article and a lot to learn but as you say did well tonight hopefully get a few more games this season to get to grips with the standard.

Fingers crossed another great academy product...perhaps we'll be able to keep this one!! :ayatollah:

I was impressed with young Wildig Sludge,

Especially the amount of heavy challenges he had tonight, obviously Bristol saw him as a threat so roughed him up a bit.

Great kid for the future, but I sigh, no doubt Riddler sees another cash cow for the future.

second challenge on him would ahve been a straight red but ref seemed to take into account state of pitch

yes wilding had a very good game all in all,lets just let the boy nurture and find hiself,he will have few bad games,but lets not get on the kids back or expect to much-as he has lots of potential,my mate works for cardiff coaching and said saturday he is going to be a quality player,he said he did not know if he was ready for championship yet...well after lastnight i think he is,well done wilding.i have also got to say i thought HUDSON had a superb game,he was up against raw pace,and he won everything,what he lacks in pace he makes up for in reading the game+positioning.

Our best youth products have come through with game time. Ramsey improved rapidly when he got given first team football. Look at him at Arsenal as well. His involvement in the first team has accelerated his progress.

I would say keep Wildig here. He won't be perfect every game but he's hard working, committed and is a raw talent. Given games and experience he could improve better than we expect. I wouldn't mind seeing him in the centre of midfield more regularly.

When I saw him play for the Academy my first thought was a comparasion with Ledley he certainly seems to have a very similar style.

I would also agree its time for Rae to move on.

Agree Wildig did very well as well as Taiwo when he came on. Taiwo just needs that little bit of sharpness on the ball when he first receives it......

I hope not! I hope he's the first Wildig!

I hope not. Look at Ledley. Won't go to the Premiership, played like shit for the last year and a half, argued with our own fans at Barnsley despite being Cardiff born and bred.

I'm totally disillusioned with Joe atm. If he cared about the club he'd have signed a new contract ages ago.

I just don't buy it lads.

Wildig looked comfortable last night in tough conditions. That's only one game though, we'll see after a good few more how he looks likely to progress.
