Only a couple are and thats the truth, reality, despite Dalman telling Media Wales to say they are ALL stars.

Colwill and Davies are two good players to come through, they will be regulars over the next few years. One or two more and that's a decent haul.

Most are not quite ready yet. Need to be eased into the team when they are ready. This may take a while. We know that Colwill and Davies have what it takes as regards talent and ability. Harris too has made a good contribution and it's a shame that injury has halted Sam Bowen's progress. Same too for Kieron Evans who has a bit of star quality. And the best of all is Cian Ashford who has only just turned 17. There are others too. Personally I think that's an incredible crop on the verge of breaking through and a lot to be optimistic about.

As Morison has stated its a big step for many of them, yet most are now 19,20,21 yrs old.
It tells me that most are not Championship standard.
Team news:
Cardiff City XI: Smithies; Ng, McGuinness, Flint, Nelson, Giles; Bacuna, Vaulks, Ralls; Harris, Moore.
Subs: Phillips, Morrison, Brown, Pack, Colwill, Davies, Collins.
Harris is our Academy player and Colwill and Davies will probably come on as substitutes.McGuinness and Giles are youngsters. It’s our Senior players who have let us down this season not the youngsters!

Yes I agree about the ones you named above, they need time.

Yes, I'm still 50:50 on Sparky. Sometimes he can look really good but perhaps doesn't do it often enough
