The abysmal Cardiff City player ratings as awful defending proves costly in embarrassing QPR defeat

Neil Etheridge 3

Should have done far better with at least two of the goals in the first half. Didn't command his area with bombardment of crosses, either.

Leandro Bacuna 3

He just doesn't look as comfortable at right back as he does in midfield. Failed to impart his attacking influence, too. Subbed at half time.

Curtis Nelson 3

His performances continue to blow hot and cold. Had no command of the box and was beaten to everything in the air.

Aden Flint 2

An absolute shocker of a pass to allow Wells through to score his third. Also responsible for allowing chaos in the box.

Sol Bamba 2

A very disappointing display after last weekend. Was responsible for two of QPR's goals. Hooked at half time.

Jazz Richards 2

Completely outdone down City's left all day. Chair and Osayi-Samuel ghosted past him all afternoon.

Marlon Pack 3

City had no go-forward and he was often too ponderous in possession. Passing accuracy when it counted let him down, too.

Will Vaulks 4

Was probably City's best player in the first half, not that it counted for much. However, he scored a thunderbolt late on.

Lee Tomlin 3

Unfair as he has so much pressure heaped on him to produce and the team's lack of creativity is exposed when he doesn't.

Junior Hoilett 4

Made very little impact except to let off a couple of long-range shots. His delivery not up to usual high standards.

Robert Glatzel 5

Actually did OK in the first half when City had a little bit of momentum. Barely got a touch after the break.

SUBS

Lee Peltier (on for Bacuna 45) 3

The back post, where he was marking, was a constant area of joy for QPR in the second half.

Danny Ward (on for Bamba 45) 4

Did well to engineer a chance late on but plonked his golden chance into the keeper's hands with his header.

Gavin Whyte (on for Glatzel 69) 4

Tried to impact the game late on but did very little to do so.
