Alex Smithies 8
It's not an understatement to say that his world-class save to deny Levi Colwill changed the game. Incredible stop.
Perry Ng 7
Provided a decent attacking outlet for the most part, had a decent impact on Cardiff going forward.
Mark McGuinness 4
An absolute howler for that Sinani goal. Misplaced his backpass and allowed the forward clean through. Will have nightmares about that. But he's a good player, he'll come back stronger.
Aden Flint 6
Pretty faultless, it has to be said. He's been largely like that this season, though. Had one dicey moment which gifted Danny Ward a chance, though.
Curtis Nelson 6
Shrugged off a little too easily for Sinani's goal, too, although of course not at fault. Was better going forward than we've seen in a while.
Ryan Giles 7
The only one who really looked as though he could cause trouble. He got the better of Sorba Thomas on a number of occasions. Some excellent crosses, some very poor.
Marlon Pack 5
Passed the ball backwards far too often. Misplaced a couple of passes, too. An off day for him in the middle of the park.
Joe Ralls 7
Did well driving the ball forward and popped up in dangerous areas. Plonked the ball right on Moore's head for the equaliser.
Leandro Bacuna 6
He will likely be the lightning rod for many but he was one of the better players in the middle. Added a bit of energy. Looks much better in there.
Mark Harris 5
Linked up well a few times to present chances to team-mates, but the ball bounced off him a few times, too. Didn't have any clear-cut chances. Subbed on the hour.
Kieffer Moore 8 (star man)
Another one who struggled to get the ball to stick to him. Smashed one shot miles wide but then scored two sweet, sweet headers to earn the win. Tremendous.
Subs
Isaak Davies (on for Harris 60) 7 - Provided a brilliant assist for the winger. Beating his man and sticking it into Moore. Pressed well, too. A top cameo.
Rubin Colwill (on for McGuinness 70) 5 - Tried to ignite the spark but it just didn't happen for him. Hit one shot into the gods.
Will Vaulks (on for Bacuna 86) NA
