NEIL ETHERIDGE 6
Nothing he could do about Ryan Babel's strike. Made some terrfic stops but distribution was once again lacking at times
LEE PELTIER 6
Was given a busy afternoon from Babel and Bryan. Looked stretched at times but you can't fault his effort
SEAN MORRISON 7
Pretty solid once again, but still can't seem to provide that danger from set-pieces. Also perhaps needs to exaggerate his falls in the box a little bit more if he's to ever get a spot-kick...
BRUNO MANGA 7
Made some crucial interventions, but passing out from the back was a little sloppy at times. Nevertheless this was a decent performance
JOE BENNETT 7
Likewise made some good defensive contributions, but like so many others had little joy in creating too much going forward. Should have scored late on
ARON GUNNARSSON 5
A bizarrely quiet performance. Put in some decent challenges, but failed to control the centre of the park in the way we know he's capable of. Subbed.
LEANDRO BACUNA 5
Looked lively at times, but was on the whole pretty predictable going forward.
NATHANIEL MENDEZ-LAING 6
Looked a threat on the counter-attack, but showed little end product. An underwhelming effort
VICTOR CAMARASA 7 STAR MAN
Probably the most likely source of creativity for Cardiff, but looked too exposed at times. Subbed.
JUNIOR HOILETT 6
Unlucky to rattle the bar late on and made some decent runs. An afternoon that just didn't work out for him.
OUMAR NIASSE 4
Looks devoid of confidence. Looked afraid to get a shot away whenever he managed to get himself in a
good position. A poor performance. Subbed.
Subs
Danny Ward (on for Niasse 61) Should have equalised. Looked lively when he came on 7
Rhys Healey (on for Camarasa 71) Should have had a penalty. Plenty of effort but little threat 6
Bobby Reid (on for Gunnarsson 87) Came on too late to make an impact
