There has been a noticeable difference this year in the emphasis which has been placed on Cardiff City's youth.
Rewind 12 months and all eyes were on the under-23s, trying to pick which of the next crop was going to sprout through and challenge the establishment for a first-team appearance. The likes of Isaak Davies, Chanka Zimba, Kieron Evans and Oliver Denham were all banging on the door.
It's all been a little quiet on that front this term, though. Perhaps because there have been fewer standout performers. Maybe it's because Steve Morison's all-conquering under-23s side last year drew more eyeballs as they surged to the top of the Professional Development League 2 South table.
