FT: CARDIFF CITY 2 - 1 SOUTHAMPTON. Match thread.

[Nobody's Rep]

Careful... Imagine coming in against Southampton as a young pro, making your debut or real first start and getting absolutely rinsed. That could finish a player off

Or is it a free hit and needs good man management to limit any damage?

Why does Siopis get such at bad rap? He's got a great engine and he's a strong and enthusiastic tackler. If he was the cultured passer everyone expects him to be, he wouldn't be here.

He's been shortlisted for player of the year and seems to be getting lots of votes in fairness. Not sure that's such a bad rap. He certainly divides people but many absolutely love him

I don't know. it's more the way Martin has his teams playing. They could end up dancing around us, although they would do that to the senior pros as well. I just wouldn't want to see a young player get absolutely battered in public. On the other hand, it could be the making of some of them, opportunity and all that.
