The miserable Swansea City player ratings as several stars look well off it in grim Birmingham City loss

FREDDIE WOODMAN - Star Man 7

Did the basics well and produced a fine penalty save to deny Lukas Jutciewicz. Couldn't keep out Scott Hogan's effort from 12 yards. Nothing more he could have done though.

KYLE NAUGHTON 6

Solid showing from the 32-year-old who made his fair share of defensive interventions. Subbed late on.

RYAN BENNETT 7

No nonsense as ever from the central defender who made numerous timely interventions and stacks of clearances.

MARC GUEHI 6

Decent showing from the Chelsea loanee on the whole, although he looked leggy at times.

CONNOR ROBERTS 5

Unable to threaten in the first half and gave away a penalty. Offered little after the restart. Poor showing from the man who has been so consistent this season.

JAY FULTON 5

Some good battling from the Scot, but the visitors needed more in the middle of the pitch.

MATT GRIMES 6

Did a lot of important work in his own box in his usual deeper role. Not enough in attack though, which in fairness wasn't really his remit.

KOREY SMITH 5

Didn't offer enough in attack, truth be told. All a bit flat. Subbed.

JAKE BIDWELL 4

Barely offered a threat in the Birmingham half and was too poor in possession. Worryingly below par.

ANDRE AYEW 4

Saw plenty of the ball in the middle of the park but was unable to create anything whatsoever. Swansea needed so much more from their talisman.

JAMAL LOWE 4

Forced Neil Etheridge into a smart save early on, but didn't threaten after that. Opted against using his left foot on two occasions which perhaps highlighted a lack of confidence.

Subs

Yan Dhanda (for Smith) - Tested Neil Etheridge with a free-kick and looked lively. So unlucky to concede the penalty. 6

Wayne Routledge (for Lowe) - Too late to do anything. N/A

Morgan Whittaker (for Naughton) - As above. N/A
