MICK McCARTHY:
Tom Davies.
"The Cambridge games, i was able to play some of our younger players who will be in our main first team squad this season and so will be called upon."
"Some of the performances from the kids, certainly Tom Davies at left-wing back, were outstanding. I thought he was excellent."
"Some people get a chance and take it. Others get a chance and find it hard. But it was a good performance from him.
"It's certainly an opportunity for Tom. Bearing in mind Joel Bagan's our left-back, wing-back whatever you want to call it. Ryan Giles can as I said, can compete for that."
"It would be lovely to have another one. A younger one. One you could put in the team and rely on."
"And Tom did his chances no harm at all."
The meteoric rise of Rubin Colwill has already shown what's possible for Cardiff's young guns, while the difficulties in the transfer market facing every Championship club this summer means many sides may well have to look inwards for solutions.
"For Cardiff, some of these academy stars may never get a better opportunity to shine as the squad wont be strengthened anymore and they will now be relied on."
